Co-management

Does anyone have a legal definition of co-management with regards to patient care? I have been asked by a local FP to co-manage twins with her. She has done a one year postresidency fellowship in obstetrics and does c-sections etc. One two occasions now the patient has been admitted for preterm labor (once by an FP partner without such fellowship training) and on neither occasion were my partner or I consulted with regards to her care. On questioning this, I was told that co-mangement meant being available for the delivery to assist as needed.

Thoughts?

Glen

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.
