Although obstetricians play the most critical role in the health of a pregnant woman and her fetus, the internist’s skills are also often needed to assure their health. From caring for chronic medical illnesses during pregnancy to diagnosing and managing acute medical complications of pregnancy, the internist must comfortably practice obstetric medicine. The following module discusses these important topics and explains how to provide a cost-effective and evidence-based preoperative evaluation of a pregnant patient. In addition, a discussion of the use of appropriate intraoperative and postoperative interventions and methods for employing an evidence-based approach to prescribing medications in pregnant patients is included.

Mounting evidence shows that the American healthcare system costs too much for the results it achieves in terms of patient outcomes and access. Many different parts of this system need attention, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, the inpatient / hospital environment is a “high intensity” healthcare delivery setting, and the “Choosing Wisely” initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) offers a list of low value healthcare practices which make great targets for improvement efforts. In this module, we will tackle one of the top five practices chosen for Choosing Wisely by the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM): excessive transfusion.
