Contemporary OB/GYN: Ob Hospitalist Group CMO Mark Simon, MD, on the OB hospitalist care model

Ob Hospitalist Group Chief Medical Officer Mark Simon, MD, MMM, recently shared insights on the evolving OB/GYN hospitalist care model in an interview with Contemporary OB/GYN. Dr. Simon highlighted how hospital-based clinicians provide immediate, on-site care for obstetric patients, functioning as a critical bridge between emergency departments and community-based providers.

He emphasized that OB hospitalists enhance patient safety and efficiency by delivering rapid interventions—particularly in high-risk situations such as hypertensive crises—while also supporting continuity of care through close collaboration with local physicians.

As hospitals face increasing demands for timely, high-quality maternity care, Simon noted that the 24/7 presence of OB hospitalists enables faster treatment, improved outcomes, and stronger support for both patients and care teams.
