Whenever a treatment decision is being made
For example regarding workup for a patient in triage, whether a patient should be admitted/sent home, when a consult is needed, when a new medication is required, when a change in labor management is being made, etc
If the treatment decision has been previously discussed with an attending and a plan has been made, the resident should follow this plan for contacting the attending (for example, if you already decided another miso should be placed if no cervical change AND that the attending only needed to be notified if there was cervical change, you could place the miso without notifying the attending provided that the patient situation is otherwise appropriate. Communication about when someone would like to be contacted for ongoing management is key)
When there is a change in patient status
For example vital sign changes, rupture of membranes, significant cervical change (attendings should be alerted to facilitate being in house by 6 cm for multips and 8 cm for primips), etc
If there are any questions from the resident or if nursing has concerns that cannot be addressed by the resident independently
Or as otherwise discussed between the resident and the attending at the time of admission/arrival to triage
How to Schedule an Induction:
Call L&D Triage (for Meriter 608-417-7688, for St Mary's 608-258-6820) and discuss with HUC
Be prepared with patient name, DOB, GA, GP, conditions complicating pregnancy, and indication for induction (Survival Guide - indications for induction)
Identify the attending on call (generally that day and the following day) and send EPIC inbasket message with pt chart and details of induction
