Gynecologic Hospitalists: Expanding the "G" in the Obstetrics and Gynecologic Hospitalist Role.

The obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) hospitalist model designates obstetricians/gynecologists focused on hospitalized women's care. OB/GYN hospitalists engage in diverse activities, encompassing patient care, teaching, research, and inpatient leadership. Primarily, they manage obstetric and gynecologic patients in the hospital, handling emergencies and providing urgent care. Hospitalists oversee the entire continuum of patient care, from the emergency department to post-acute follow-up. This model emphasizes the traditional academic attending physician's role, particularly that of the gynecologic hospitalist, who excels in acute inpatient obstetric and gynecologic medicine, advancing skills in urgent care and medical education, and ensuring quality and safety metrics.
