Re: physician pager response timesFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Fri Oct 15 13:44:44 2004
We use a numeric code following the page to L&D's number that our nurses use to indicate how quickly they want us to respond: 1 = stat; 2 = within 20 minutes; and 3 = routine. We don't have a formal requirement in the bylaws that physicians respond within a set time, apart from the requirement that ER/ICU responses be within 20 minutes. Ronald E.

Ashley Hill Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 11:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: OB: physician pager response times Does anyone work at a hospital that has a formal policy regarding how rapidly physicians should respond to pages? For example, a patient shows up at 9cm on the labor unit, so the nurses page the doctor. Some answer quickly, others "not so quickly." Do listmembers have an opinion as to how rapidly is appropriate (i.e. 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes)?! Thanks. Have a nice weekend. Ashley

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.
