title: High-volume obstetrics in a combined LDR/LDRP program.
abstract: A combined LDR/LDRP unit works well for high-volume obstetrical service. It allows for diverse staff clinical expertise and a strong team identity in providing a comprehensive obstetric service. It offers managers increased flexibility in managing costs and an ongoing opportunity to mentor and role model collegiality. It gives consumers a choice of service to meet specific needs.
