This sounds like something the chair of the dept would need to hold some pow wows on -- rather than declaring the plan. One there is a plan, however, then there has to be a dicision on implementation.

In residency with a dept of about 30 OBs ... yes - al iinductions were booked with L&D and the log was kept with the reasons etc. We really didnt' have many that were the truly elective ones -- and if we got more than we were agreed to handle the least urgent w=ones were put off -- and I would guess that if we had a new policiy that it would be the dept chair (or his / her designee) that would be called if some irate doc called up demanding that patient Ms Doe be put on and there was either no room -- or it was not indicated.

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.
