Monitoring reproductive health in Europe: What are the best indicators of reproductive health? A need for evidence-based quality indicators of reproductive health care

Abstract

Monitoring reproductive health by the Reprostat indicators in Europe will facilitate the transparency of reproductive health as well as comparisons over time and between countries. However, for the monitoring and improvement of reproductive health care, we suggest the systematic development of evidence-based quality indicators, especially process and structure indicators. © The Author 2007.
