Dr. Jamshaid Ali, Dr. Neelam Ameer, Dr. Madiha Tariq

Objective: Our goal was to evaluate the work of hospitalists and maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) subspecialists in inpatient obstetrical care. Study Design: Our existing research was led at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore from October 2018 to August 2019. This electronic study was offered to individuals from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG; n=1,038) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM; n=1814). Results and Conclusion: 609 (22%) respondents completed the review. Thirty-five percent reported that hospitalists provided care in at least one of their emergency clinics. In contrast, CCOG and MEMS respondents indicated that they were more comfortable with the fact that hospitalists consider all women in labour and birth (75.3 vs. 44.6%, p=.006) and women with complex problems (57.5 vs. 44.6%, p=.005). Most CCOG respondents, to some degree, strongly agreed that hospitalists were associated with fewer unfriendly opportunities (70%) and improved social safety and well-being (71%). Seventy-two percent of COCA respondents had access to the MFM interview, and 54% had access to the inpatient inclusion. Of these, 81% were satisfied with the accessibility of the MFM. More than 34% of respondents work in units set up with hospitalists and most of them have an MFM accessible to inpatients. It is essential to assess whether and how hospitalists can improve maternal and perinatal outcomes, and which types of clinics are best served by them.
