Antenatal Corticosteroids: Timing, Controversy, and the Role of the OB Hospitalist

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are critical to improve perinatal and neonatal outcomes prior to an anticipated or unanticipated preterm birth. During this educational program, the first collaborative webinar between Hologic and Society of OBGYN Hospitalists, an MFM (Dr. Michael Ruma) and three OB Hospitalists (Dr. Julianne DeMartino, Dr. Tori O’Daniel and Dr. Trina Pagano) will join efforts to help attendees learn the importance of evaluating their own institutional use of this perinatal medication, and be empowered to make quality metric changes within their organizations to improve perinatal and neonatal outcomes for mothers and babies under their care.
