The main, upscale birthing center here, that most of my patients favor, only has 6 LDRPs, and closes to patient admission at least once a week. If I arrange an induction, my patients get to deliver at the site of their choosing, instead of the tertiary care hospital 10 miles down the road, that has slightly less ambience. Thus, it works well for all concerned. 7AM induction start, 7PM delivery for the most part. >> How often do the scheduled inductions tie up the labor beds (and nursing staff) leading to the unit closing and diverting spontaneous labor patients and medically indicated inductions 10 miles down the road? I've seen this at my hospital on more than one occasion! Especially with the inductions that turn into 2-3 day ordeals.

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.
