Thanks for your response, do you have policy that supports this?

Where are your post partum readmits placed and what is your policy regarding this readmitted patient having her (discharged) newborn room in with her? We admit back to our antepartum or post partum rooms, and most of our moms want their babies to stay with them but currently have no policy regarding this.

But are you seeing that your mds are admitting these patients and keeping them in house until the 34 wk gestation? Our docs are not even trialing bedrest at home and my length of stay is through the roof. Any ideas?

Hi We are noticing an increase in the amount of patients that have shortened cerivx as their admitting diagnosis. These patients are being admitted on to the antepartum unit and stay usually until they are 34 wks or deliver. What is your LOS for this diagnosis? Are your case managers using and clinical care guidelines, such as Millimans to benchmark los?
