Per Diem OB/GYN Hospitalist Opportunity in Atlanta, GA

Per diem opportunity for an experienced OB/GYN hospitalist to join our team at EastSide Medical Center.

  • 1,500 deliveries per year
  • The OB/GYN hospitalist service sees an average of 6 patients per day (although this is highly variable)
  • We have a dedicated call room, 24-hour, in-house anesthesia services, physician work-room and lounge areas in the unit, in addition to a physician cafeteria with complimentary meals when the hospital cafeteria is open
  • The EHR is Meditech and the fetal monitoring system is CPN

General responsibility overview: triage/care for unassigned OB and GYN patients, ER and floor consults, respond to emergencies on L&D/postpartum, surgical assistance at C/S's, call coverage for private physicians.

OB/GYN Hospitalist responsibilities (detailed):

  • Triage through-put optimized at <120min whenever possible with physician contact ASAP (goal is within 60min max and to minimize door-to-doctor times).
  • Oversight on L&D with emergency interventions and notification of attending for private patients. Board rounds with the charge nurse twice daily and regular updates for new admissions or complications.
  • Triage and admission as needed of unassigned ("no-doc”) OB or GYN patients.
  • Emergency surgical therapy prn with emphasis on laparoscopic treatment for ectopics where possible.
  • ER and floor consults for unassigned OB or GYN patients.
  • Coverage (OB and GYN triage, admission, rounding as needed) and C/S surgical assists for private physicians when requested if possible. GYN surgical assists must be subject to clinical demands (not usually available).
  • Minimize call-ins from the back-up private physician list as much as possible by prioritizing – may use nurse triage (monitor/check cervix/labs/US/etc & call results) to help improve through-put and minimize back-up usage when urgently clinically occupied elsewhere.
  • Carrying of a Cisco (VoIP) phone (handed off to oncoming hospitalist each day) so OB/GYN hospitalist is always accessible via a single number.
  • Complete EHR and/or CPN documentation for all patients seen (whether charges placed or not). Fill out billing work sheet for all patients seen (or use eCCAPS, the electronic charging system for Mednax)
  • I-PASS handoff report to oncoming physicians including ID info, Hx and Dx, acuity, action items (to-do) and situational awareness (pt concerns/coverage/consults/back-up physician/etc). Include all patients seen who remain hospitalized even if team has signed-off.
  • Report to private attendings for whom coverage has been provided re their patient encounters during coverage interval.
  • 24 hour shifts
