Re: 48 hour stayFrom: GA12L@aol.comTue Nov 29 03:12:35 2005

We have them stay 2 days and then beyond that they only get seen if they call (ie breastfeeding issues). Otherwise it is at the 6 week postpartum issue. I’m certain there aren’t many places in the states that have enough personnel to make home visits daily for 6 days after a delivery. Then that explains it. If our women weren't getting any postnatal care then I'm sure they would be staying longer. Once discharged from hospital they have a midwife going in daily for at least the fist 6 days when the Guthrie test is done then dependng on the women she is fliexied, i.e., if she needs a visit she'll get one if not then she won't. Our rules state that we must visit for the first 10 days mimimum and for up to 28 days in necessary. There are changes coming that will mean visiting women for up to 3 months and will include us doing the 6 week postnatal examination. So women in the States don't get postnatal care once they leave hospital? Gail

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.
