Support for your OB staff
24/7 neonatology helps you recruit and retain obstetricians
OBs are increasingly hard to recruit and retain—and need effective support to continue practicing in an increasingly risky medical/legal environment. ACOG reports that 1 in 7 of their member physicians has stopped practicing obstetrics due to the risk of lawsuits, and that 22% have cut back on care for high-risk pregnancies.
For your obstetricians, 24-hour Onsite coverage by neonatologists means:
By reducing the risks to premature infants at your hospital, Onsite’s 24/7 neonatal services can substantially lower the risk to your obstetricians. This helps you retain and recruit more physicians to your labor and delivery services.
Many of our obstetrician colleagues have told us they prefer to admit at Onsite hospitals. In addition to quality of care, they appreciate our accessibility for consultations, and the fact that fewer of their patients need transfer. One practice says Onsite’s 24/7 in-house coverage by neonatologists helped them recruit 3 new obstetricians and bring hundreds of additional deliveries to the hospital.
The proof is in the numbers: Onsite hospitals have grown deliveries an average of 24% during our tenure with them—at a time when many struggle to keep their L&D services open.
