When evaluating the right solution for your hospital’s OB/GYN services, 24/7 labor and delivery coverage and staffing are often primary considerations. But they aren’t the only factors to consider. The right OB hospitalist partner goes beyond staffing, providing high-quality care, seamless support and a commitment to better outcomes. Choosing a provider with deep expertise in women’s health helps ensure improved quality, enhanced patient safety and fewer challenges often faced by hospitals. Choosing the right OB hospitalist provider also means selecting an organization that serves as a partner every step of the way.

What sets us apart?

Here are some of the factors that set Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) apart from other organizations, and make us the trusted choice for hospitals nationwide:

• Our single focus – We specialize in obstetrics and improving maternal health. With all our resources and talent dedicated to OB hospitalist medicine and OB/GYN care for women, we’ve developed deep knowledge, experience and data within the OB hospitalist space. This expertise allows us to implement evidence-based best practices, enhance clinical quality and improve patient safety. By tracking key metrics and aligning our efforts with your hospital’s specific goals, we drive continuous improvement in care delivery. Through our partnership, we elevate the standard of care, ultimately driving better outcomes for mothers and babies while meeting your hospital’s objectives for quality and performance – nearly 300 hospitals across the country rely on OBHG for our expertise, quality and dedicated support. We work closely with hospitals nationwide to tackle women’s service line challenges, from rising vacancy rates and wage pressures to maintaining high-quality care. Many hospitals face challenges in meeting their quality goals on their own, and that’s where we come in. Nobody else has the discipline and rigor running these programs like we do. OBHG has the standards and structure that make a difference. By continuously learning from our extensive hospital network, we apply data-driven insights to enhance care models and drive meaningful improvements across our network. Our deep industry expertise enables us to deliver tailored, effective solutions that help our partners achieve and sustain their quality goals.

• How we support you– Partnering with OBHG means receiving personalized, hands-on support every step of the way. Our commitment doesn’t end when the contract is signed – it extends long after the program has launched. You’ll find us actively engaged and see our clinicians in departmental meetings and leading drills and simulations. Our hospital partners trust that we are always there for them, providing the expertise and support they need to strengthen their maternal care programs and drive better outcomes.

• How we support community providers – Strong partnerships with private practice physicians are a cornerstone of OBHG’s programs. Our collaborative, non-competitive approach ensures that community physicians feel supported, whether it’s enabling them to see more patients in the hospital or take well-deserved time off. Through our Obstetrical Services Agreement (OSA), community OB/GYNs can bill the entire global obstetrical fee if an OBHG clinician performs labor management or delivery services for a private practice physician, creating a seamless, patient-centered experience while supporting private practice sustainability.

• How we support our own clinicians – At OBHG, our clinicians are at the heart of everything we do, and their success is our priority. As key leaders in our programs, they build strong hospital partnerships, foster collaboration with medical staff and uphold the highest standards of clinical quality. We invest in their growth by providing extensive training on best practices, obstetrical protocols and data-driven insights, all supported by our regional and national clinical network. This foundation prepares our clinicians to take ownership for the success of the entire labor and delivery unit, serving as the maternal safety champions of labor and delivery.

• Our satisfied hospital partners – Nothing brings us greater pride than knowing that our hospital partners value our collaboration and the impact we make together. By enhancing patient safety and improving maternal care, we help hospitals strengthen the well-being of families in their communities. Our case studies showcase real success stories, demonstrating how we’ve transformed maternal care in hospitals across the country.

• How we support nurses and address staffing challenges – OBHG clinicians work hand-in-hand with labor and delivery nurses, fostering strong collaboration that enhances patient care and creates a more supportive work environment. Our presence not only improves clinical quality but also contributes to nurse satisfaction, helping hospitals attract and retain experienced labor and delivery nurses. By alleviating workload pressures and providing consistent support, we play a key role in strengthening nursing teams and ensuring better outcomes for both patients and staff.

• Our collaborations within the hospital – Our clinicians are closely aligned with medical teams across the hospital, from physicians in the emergency department to NICU specialists. Beyond providing clinical care, our clinicians are integral in mentoring staff, leading training initiatives and reinforcing hospital-wide clinical standards. This collaboration not only enhances the quality of maternal care, but also strengthens the hospital’s culture.

• How we’re improving maternal access to care – At OBHG, we’re committed to helping hospitals bridge gaps in OB/GYN care, ensuring women don’t have to travel great distances to receive the care they need. Through our experience and success working with hospital partners of all sizes, we understand that many hospitals have the foundational pieces to meet the healthcare needs of the women in their communities, but they may still face gaps. We fill these gaps with custom-designed solutions, distinct from our core OB hospitalist model. This can include providing extra support in the hospital, staffing clinics or offering coverage from a Certified Nurse-Midwife or other providers. By addressing these gaps with full-scope services, we’re proud to help hospitals address maternal mortality, keep labor and delivery services open and bring essential care closer to home for many women in the community.

• Our staffing approach – At OBHG, we understand the right team is essential for delivering high-quality care. We tailor our staffing to meet the unique needs of each hospital, ensuring the right expertise is in place. This include utilizing Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs), Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants when appropriate, empowering them to practice to the full extent of their license. Additionally, we incorporate early career physicians into select programs, contributing to the future of OB/GYN clinicians and fostering growth within the field. By strategically assembling the best team for each program, we maximize efficiency, improve patient outcomes and ensure the highest standard of maternal care.

• Our support of teaching programs – Many of our hospital partners rely on us to provide medical directorship and support their affiliated teaching programs. Our clinicians excel in these roles, often earning formal recognition for their significant contributions to the education of residents and other students. Through this partnership, we’re proud to play a key role in shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals.

• Expanding access to care at FQHCs – We’re expanding access to vital care by partnering with hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) to service pregnant women in underserved communities. Through these collaborations, OBHG clinicians deliver inpatient care, handle deliveries and manage obstetrical emergencies. This arrangement allows FQHCs to extend their reach and care for more women in the clinic, while patients benefit from expert care by OBHG clinicians in the hospital.
