The OB coverage sustainability checklist

A practical workforce and access assessment for hospital leaders

Obstetrics programs across the country are under pressure. Physician shortages, growing call burden, and shifting workforce dynamics are quietly straining coverage models that once felt stable.

Some hospitals are managing burnout and retention challenges. Others are weighing whether local maternity access is sustainable at all.

There’s no single right answer — but there is a useful starting point.

This checklist walks you through 16 indicators across three areas: coverage reliability, workforce stability, and service line viability. It takes about five minutes to complete and gives you a clearer picture of where your program stands today.

Identify 16 risk factors affecting OB coverage, staffing stability, and patient access in minutes.
