This is the gospel according to Ron: For a prenatal patient it would be one who has either not had any prenatal care during the pregnancy or care by another physician who it not on the staff of the hospital. For an ER patient it would be a patient who does not have a current relationship (seen in the past three years, according to AMA) with a physician at the hospital in the specialty he needs, whether it be gyn, ortho, primary care, etc.

In your institutions - what is the definition of an unattached patient? --- is there a legal definition? Joe?

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.
