General practitioners (GPs) value continuity of care in shared obstetric programs. While satisfied, they desire improved hospital-GP communication and question current obstetric qualification requirements for shared care.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • General Practice
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Shared obstetric care models are emerging in Australia.
  • This care model aims to provide an alternative for pregnant women within public hospital systems.
  • General Practitioners (GPs) are increasingly involved in managing obstetric care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the attitudes of participating General Practitioners (GPs) towards a shared obstetric care program.
  • To identify key aspects of the shared care model that GPs find valuable.
  • To understand GP perspectives on program effectiveness and areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing face-to-face individual interviews.
  • A random sample of 50 GPs participating in the Royal Women's Hospital shared care program was interviewed.

  • Data collection focused on GP experiences and perceptions of the shared care model.

    • Main Results:

    • GPs highly value the continuity of care provided during pregnancy and postpartum periods.
    • Overall satisfaction with the Royal Women's Hospital program is generally high.
    • GPs identified a need for enhanced communication channels between hospitals and general practices.
    • Significant interest exists among GPs for future involvement in obstetric deliveries within shared care settings.
    • GPs expressed reservations regarding the diploma of obstetrics as the sole prerequisite for shared care participation.

    Conclusions:

    • Shared obstetric care is viewed positively by GPs, particularly for its continuity benefits.
    • Improvements in inter-professional communication are crucial for optimizing shared care programs.
    • Future shared care models should consider broader qualifications and increased GP involvement in deliveries.
