Re: Co-managementFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Wed Apr 23 21:53:12 2008
Glen: I can't appreciate the politics, if any, of your situation and/or hospital. Thus, my thought may be out of bounds. That said: Twins are infrequent. Problems with twins are not. Thus, it makes sense that for the infrequent twins in the FP's practice, that she simply say "This is not something I should handle as the primary caregiver" and let the patient be cared for by a specialist in Obstetrics. If a second accoucher is needed, call in the FP to be the assistant at delivery and you run the show. You'll thus use her definition of co-management! As an aside, we decided that in our 3 MD, 3 CNM practice that all twins become MD patients (one CNM argued for co-management) using the same rationale, i.e twins are infrequent, and problems aren't, so why not use your "best player" in those infrequent situations. The CNM is the second accoucher if one is needed. Garry

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.
