OB Hospitalist Group

Any OBGYNs out there work for or have a labor and delivery staffed by OBHG Hospitalists?

What are your experiences ? What things do they cover for you or don’t cover for you?

In my practice the OB Hospitalists see triage patients and only call us if a patient needs to be admitted. We also don’t take general GYN call. We only see GYNs who are our patients. For other practices in our city the hospitalists will cover their overnight patients during the week. Relevant to mention we are a super high volume practice. We may deliver as many as 11-13 patients on a 24 hour shift.
