  • 1.  L&D Staffing during COVID-19

    Curious how your clinical sites are changing staffing models for L&D in the setting of COVID. Are you consolidating coverage - eg a day attending and a night attending for several consecutive days - to limit the number of people interacting with each other? And what steps are you taking to reduce risk for physicians who are at higher risk of infection? Thanks!! -Alison

    Hi Alison, 
    We have been doing 2 shifts of staff physicians rotating clinic and L&D coverage with a 24 hour rotating call person.  For MFM coverage we are trying not to have all members of the division in the hospital at the same time, with 1-2 of the 3 working from home on each day.  (We're a bit more strapped recently with several generalist physicians deploying on a hospital ship)
    Hope this helps!  Monica Lutgendorf
