Quote of Note
From the Obstetrics and Gynecology Assembly eGroup 
"Our patients have their ‘primary’ OB physician but are seen by all MDs. We make no promises as to who will be on call at their time of delivery. Our patients are seen by their primary OB physician through the anatomy scan. Once that is completed, they rotate among the other OB physicians so that they can meet them all. After the 36-week visit with our perinatal-nurse educator, the patient goes back to her primary OB physician until delivery. We feel that this provides that bonding opportunity with the primary OB, but also gives patients the chance to meet all of the OB physicians in the event that their primary is not on call at delivery."

OB/GYN Resources
- Get the data you need to succeed - participate in the 2011 Cost Survey.
- MGMA 2009 Obstetric and Gynecology Practice Management e-Conference Recordings. Get three of the major sessions shared by the experts at the conference.
- Operating Policies & Procedures Manual for Medical Practices, 3rd edition. Natural disasters, declining reimbursement and more diverse patient populations have made the need for specialized medical practice policies and processes even greater.
- Policies & Procedures Manual for Medical Practices, 4th edition. Human resource issues in the medical practice setting have a reputation for being more complex than the mainstream; thus, the need for specialized information has never been greater.
- Electronic Health Records: Transforming Your Medical Practice, second edition. While some electronic health record (EHR) implementations proceed on schedule with the team’s full participation and – seemingly – little effort, others flounder, stall, or struggle, experiencing only limited success or, in extreme cases, no success at all. What accounts for the difference?
- Data Sanity: A Quantum Leap to Unprecedented Results. Far too much emphasis has been placed on “tools, tools and more tools” (especially statistical techniques), resulting in rampant waste caused by poor everyday organizational use of data. This book offers a new way of thinking via a common organizational language based in process and understanding variation to motivate more productive daily conversations for everyone.
- Integrated Delivery Systems: Ensuring Successful Physician-Hospital Partnerships. As medical groups, hospitals, and health systems position themselves for the new marketplace, they must be proactive in establishing new relationships and affiliations. Because the outcomes of health system integration vary widely, this book will help steer organizations toward a common purpose – in a way that is meaningful to providers, administrators, and health care leaders, and most of all, to patients.
- See additional group practice management resources.
