Quality indicators for rural surgical and obstetrical care: A modified Delphi consensus study
The modified Delphi process resulted in the identification of surgical and obstetrical quality indicators that are contextually embedded in the realities of rural practice. The methodology allowed for the consideration of factors often overlooked by normative urban-based approaches, including team-based care characteristic of rural hospitals and limited access to specialist care and imaging services.
