Consent for deliveryFrom: l.glazerman@rcn.comTue Jul 30 08:27:11 2002
I'm interested in how the group handles consents for delivery. Several specific questions: 1. Do you have patients sign consent for delivery? 2. Is it your hospital's standard OR consent? 3. When is it signed? 4. How long does your hospital consider consent valid? We're having a go around with legal over this. In our hospital, consent is only considered valid for 30 days. Consent is required for labor and delivery. Most of the private offices sign consent at the first prenatal visit, which is obviously more than 30 days in advance. In the clinic, they're doing it when the patient presents in labor. I contend that consent obtained in labor is probably not valid, since the patient can be considered under duress, and not able to give true informed consent. Larry Glazerman

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.
