  1. Med/Surg overflow on OB/Gyn/Peds unit

    BAccardorn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn
    We have an 18 bed OB/Gyn/Peds unit, and at times, we receive med surg overflow. I was wondering how others deal with this overflow, if you get any at all. How do you staff the department to take care of this overflow, Pediatric patients, OBs with newborns in & out of the rooms, especially in the area of MRSA + patients? We are told that "good handwashing" will cover for those patients that are infected. We have to take care of these patients, then go into an OBs room, deal with the newborn, etc, or into a Pediatrics room. How do you deal with this, or do you have a policy or staffing standard that keeps the overflow from occurring on your unit, if the OB/Peds census is low? We can't get any answers, and the CDC will not make a statement about crossing infections of this type on an OB floor. If you know where there is a statement from AWHONN, ACOG, or CDC, please share. Thanks
