The Society of OB/GYN Hospitalists published guidelines in 2016 elucidating various roles and responsibilities of OB/GYN hospitalists, many of which require effective leadership skills.[1] While specific duties may vary from program to program, most OB/GYN hospitalists, if not all, maintain high visibility in labor and delivery and collaborate with the unit’s nursing leader(s) in the management of unit operations. OB/GYN hospitalists may identify risk factors and proactively discuss patient safety issues to help the unit avoid or anticipate and prepare for high-acuity situations. OB/GYN hospitalists can lead the implementation of safety bundles, contribute to educational efforts throughout the unit, and lead teams in the management of life-threatening emergencies. OB/GYN hospitalists foster collaborative teamwork and help resolve conflicts among health care providers. By the nature of these and other roles, all OB/GYN hospitalists are leaders and should cultivate their leadership skills through continuing educational opportunities, by engaging with their hospital administration, and via ongoing self-development. Furthermore, OB/GYN hospitalists should seek formal leadership positions at local, regional, and national levels to advocate for their patients and to help improve safety and quality of health care for women.
