How do OBGYN Hospitalists COLLABORATE with MFM Physicians? MFMs can choose to round on their own patients but in many cases the patients are admitted by the OB Hospitalist who round on them every day; the MFM also rounds when necessary. The Hospitalist collaborates with the MFM so that the plan is clear. The Hospitalist is the "boots on the ground" and performs the necessary duties on Labor and Delivery. These duties include assessing the MFM's patient in triage, admitting their patients, plus performing vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections unless the MFM chooses to perform those procedures. There can be a lot of variation in how programs are designed. Perinatologists are highly appreciative of these programs since they allow a better work/life balance. They also allow the MFM to stay highly productive in their office, seeing consults and doing complex ultrasounds and staying home at night.
Are you looking to improve your current program, plan a new start-up program, improve work/life balance as a MFM or increase the financial outlook for yourself or your MFM department? If so, the team at National OBGYN Hospitalist Consulting Group is available to work with you step-by-step to ensure the results you would like to see.
