I work at Southern Regional Hospital in Riverdale, GA, just south of Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta. We recently converted 8 antepartum high risk beds to postpartum beds, moved APU to what formerly was quite a luxurious 8 bed triage unit, and have converted the waiting room to one big triage area with 6 beds separated by curtains with one common bathroom.

Our practice does only medically indicated inductions, and no C/S on request. Most of our vaginally delivered patients go home on day one, C/S on day 3.

We still have bottlenecks. The hospital has 14 LDRs and do about 450 births/month. Nowhere near the volume of Northside, but still the same problems.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
