In obstetrics, timely intervention can make all the difference for both mother and child. Recognizing this need, hospitals are increasingly turning to Ob Hospitalist Group to provide expert care for pregnant women.
At OBHG, every hospital partner is supported by a Director of Operations and a Clinical Site Director. The Director of Operations works closely with the Site Director in overseeing the operational management and oversight of OBHG’s hospital partner programs.
Collaborating with hospitals for better outcomes
At the heart of the success of OBHG’s programs lies a collaborative partnership between hospitals and OBHG’s operations and clinical teams, working seamlessly to enhance patient care and outcomes. Here’s how this collaboration plays out:
- Clear communication: Open lines of communication are essential for effective collaboration. OBHG’s operations team leaders maintain regular contact with hospital leadership to ensure that everyone is aligned with program goals and objectives.
- Data-driven decision making: Collaboration allows for the effective use of data to drive decision-making. OBHG’s operations team and onsite clinical leadership share data and insights with hospital leaders on patient outcomes and performance metrics to inform quality improvement initiatives and strategic planning efforts.
- Flexibility and adaptability: Healthcare is dynamic, and flexibility is key. OBHG’s operations and clinical teams are agile in responding to emerging opportunities and challenges, whether it’s a surge in patient volumes or changes in clinical guidelines.
- Continuous learning and improvement: Collaboration fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement. By exchanging best practices, sharing lessons learned, and benchmarking, OBHG’s operations and clinical teams collectively strive for improvement and excellence in patient care delivery and outcomes with our hospital partners.
Insights from OBHG’s operations team
“I think my greatest support to the hospital is communication of the partnership we have with them. How our clinicians merge into the unit seamlessly and there is no difference between a private practice physician and OBHG.
This is a very special relationship. The time spent by the Director of Operations and Site Director improves patient safety by having a supported team. I might only answer a staffing question for them, but this provides coverage to help with patient safety. No concern is a small concern in my eyes.”
– Michelle Schuerr, Senior Director of Operations
“Our operational team leverages OBHG’s industry leading experience, data from hundreds of hospital partners, and world class healthcare professionals to develop effective programs to suit their individual needs. We are 100% dedicated to women’s services, focused on serving hospitals, women and babies in the community.
The service OBHG delivers changes outcomes and saves lives in a very real and tangible way. My family has experienced the impact of our services, it is the reason my grandson is here today. No challenge we are faced with is bigger than the importance of moving forward to save more lives in more places. I am looking forward to increasing our footprint in our current and future programs.”
– Christi Acker, Director of Operations
