Ok- our facility has an implied consent policy when the patient comes in labor and is going to be delivered. They do not require a consent for vaginal delivery, but they do consents for anything outside the norm. Epidurals, C/S. BTL. Should I be telling them to get consent for NSVD? Sometimes risk management here is way behind the curve.

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.
