New Content: Members Only | | Cesarean section - Procedure 76 | | Cesarean section (C-section) is the surgical delivery of a baby through incisions in a woman’s abdomen and uterus. C-sections may be elective, but more often are performed because of potential health risks to the mother or child. A C-section is considered major abdominal surgery and is typically performed by a physician who is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) or by a family physician who has received enhanced training in obstetrics through an extended residency, an obstetrics fellowship, and/or a preceptorship with a physician who has cesarean privileges. Despite lingering inconsistencies regarding the privileging of family medicine physicians for cesarean deliveries, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) argues that “provision of cesarean delivery by well-trained family physicians augments maternity care services available to women or, in some cases, provides a service that would not otherwise be available.” |

| Product Spotlight | | Why should you apply to the 2018 CRC Contests? | | The 2018 CRC Symposium Case Study Competition and the 2018 CRC Achievement Awards are two application-based contests that showcase excellence in the medical staff services and leadership fields. Winners, who will be selected by a panel of esteemed industry experts, will receive free admission to and recognition at the 2018 CRC Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here's why you should apply, according to one current judge: "The critical work done by medical staff professionals and medical staff leaders across the nation regarding practitioner competency is often misunderstood, under-recognized, and unappreciated. The CRC Contests seek to remedy this by offering an opportunity for these unsung heroes to move into the spotlight and be recognized for their achievement. And to add credibility to the entire process is a vigorous and rigorous evaluation and judging process by experts in the field. So here truly is a chance to shine and show how your work is part of the critical frontline in ensuring patient safety and how it simultaneously protects your organization and helps every practitioner to be the best they can be." —William K. Cors, MD, MMM, FAAPL, member of the 2017 and 2018 Contest Committees |
