Re: Collaborative practice - was Grande MultipFrom: Barbara Nicol (blnicol@ix.netcom.com)Mon May 1 17:03:30 2006
In general, our practice (6 CNM, 3 MD) sees induction as enough of a deviation from normal that it should be discussed first. But then, I work in a setting with a low induction rate and very few social inductions. Most of the inductions therefore merit discussion with an MD anyway because they are not, strictly speaking, low-risk. I think having to discuss it with someone else cuts down the chance of unnecessary intervention. In a setting in which social inductions or elective term inductions are common, one might understand if the CNM and MDs had come to an agreement that certain types of social or even indicated inductions (e.g. term multipara with favorable cervix, postdates) could be scheduled without additional consultation. So, yeah, our protocols require consultation prior to induction - but I could imagine a setting in which consultation wasn't required under certain circumstances. (The CNMs wrote the protocols, btw, though the MDs are involved in the final revisions each time.) Hope that helps! - Barb Nicol

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.
