The FPattending will provide back-up.A patient who does not receive her primary care or prenatal care at MFHC may arrange ahead oftime for a MFHC physician to provide newborn care for her baby. In this situation, the patientwill notify the nursery staff who will then notify the identified MFHC resident/physician directlywhen the baby is born. In the event the resident/physician is not available (evenings, weekends,& vacation) the nursery staff will notify the Pediatric resident, who will either admit the babyand perform the H&P (after hours) or contact the FPS resident to do so (daytime/weekdays). Thenewborn will be on the FPS, with the FP attending providing back-up.Page 138 of 153C:\Documents and Settings\dhutak\Desktop\rshb13.doc
