Abstract
ABSTRACT Background : The hospitalist model in obstetric care which was introduced over the last decades now has an important role in care delivery management with the potential positive impact on neonatal outcomes. Methods : This research design was retrospective cohort. Participants included is the patient in the time before and after implementation of obstetrician/gynecologist full-hospitalist policy during October 2013 until September 2014. The outcome measured were mean response time, APGAR score at 5 minutes, , NICU admission. Univariate and multivariable analyses was conducted to evaluate and determine the factor which significantly contribute to neonatal outcomes. Results and Discussion: We included total 71 patients (37 on-call obstetrician group and 34 full-time hospitalist group). Univariate analysis indicated mean response time was significantly differ in full-time hospitalist group when compared to the on-call obstetrician group (65,3 + 25,89 vs. 84 + 22,29 mins; p = 0,002). Implementation of full-time hospitalist did not impact the NICU admission and APGAR score at 5 minutes. Conclusion : Implementation of full-time hospitalist model is not affecting neonatal outcomes.
