On Call Schedule
In July 2008, a "laborist model" for attending coverage on the labor and delivery unit was instituted. The laborist system means that for any 24-hour shift, there are two attending physicians on staff whose only responsibility is to oversee the labor and delivery floor. The laborist model has led to improved attending-resident collaboration with the ultimate goal of improving patient safety.
