  • Utilize the Oregon Maternal Data Center to inform quality improvement efforts through data-driven, evidence-based practices that achieve optimal health outcomes.
  • Promote systems changes in public health, policy, and health care delivery that reduce morbidity and mortality and enhance patient and family-integrated care.
  • Improve access to high quality, affordable, and timely care.
  • Eliminate disparities in health outcomes of mothers and infants.
