Re: Going into medicineFrom: Elrod Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO (Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL)Mon Jan 31 00:46:55 2005
The AF did a survey a little over a year ago and found that continuity during the prenatal care was nearly the top of the most important list for our patients. (#1 was availability of a 20 wk ultrasound, but that's another whole topic) We are now tasked with trying to reach 75% continuity with our OB patients. Glen D.

Daniel Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 7:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Going into medicine When I was at Scott and White Clinic, we surveyed our patients about that issue, during the pregnancy and again post partum. Diferent results, during the pregnancy who delivered was the most importanat thing, afterwards, it didn't matter. So if you can keep them coming to you until they do deliver, then they don't care and you are OK. Dan -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net on behalf of D.

We have seen similar (although not quantified) results in our 8-partner practice. We have a modified hospitalist practice style and sometimes you meet a patient for the first time when they arrive in labor. Interestingly, patients almost never seem to care, and comment that "I thought I would be mad that I had not met you, but I'm so excited to be here I don't care who does the delivery." I'm not sure that's good or bad for us, but it may ease your mind when contemplating a hospitalist system. Ashley

Perhaps a "hospitalist" in-house delivery providor system might be something for the future. 'course it would come with a cost in terms of the interpersonal relationships that account for so much of the psychic rewards of the specialty. -- D.

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.
