Re: OB: Another Cautionary TaleFrom: rmodugno@aol.comTue Jan 29 08:16:29 2008
Yeah, one of the nurse-midwives in our practice was apparently associated with some homebirths. She was on our liability insurance. She is no longer with the practice. ? Robert Modugno MD MBA FACOG Sylva, NC -----Original Message----- From: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Sent: Mon, 28 Jan 2008 4:57 pm Subject: Re: OB: Another Cautionary Tale A couple of years ago we had a little "run" of home births, likely planned, in our CNM patients. Long story short, while not debating the safety of home birth (because there are studies that likely prove it is OK in low risk patients, though it would take a gigantic study to show a difference if one exists), a wise attorney from our Med Mal carrier asked us if we TOLD patients up front that we don't participate. Well, we didn't, but now all new Ob patients read and sign a form that includes, among other things, a statement that says: This practice does not participate in home births in any capacity. If patients want to discuss this, we don't accept them or discharge them. If they deliver at home "behind our back," we were up front!

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.
