EP 52: Florida Just Legalized Out of Hospital C-Sections!

WOOWHO!!!! It's Nurses Uncorked one year anniversary! 52 episodes in the can and never missed a single week! While other podcasts often do seasons and reruns, Nurses Uncorked puts out original episodes every week! 
 
In this episode Nurse Jessica and Nurse Erica discuss a controversial new Florida law, SB7016, that allows doctors to perform C-sections outside of hospitals. They are joined by Nurse Jessica's husband, who is an OB-GYN, to provide insights on the topic. The conversation covers the potential risks and complications of performing C-sections outside of hospitals, the requirements for advanced birthing centers, and the impact on access to care in rural areas. The conversation explores the potential impact of advanced birthing centers in Florida, with a focus on the financial incentives for physicians and the potential consequences for patient safety. The discussion touches on topics such as the choice for physicians to practice in these centers, the potential for increased malpractice insurance rates and the role of NICA coverage. The conversation also delves into the staffing and resources needed for these centers and the financial aspects of the legislation. In this final part of the conversation, the nurses discuss the potential challenges and timeline for implementing advanced birthing centers. They also touch on the role of organizations like AHCA in establishing the rules and regulations for these centers. The conversation then shifts to the concerns raised by the Florida Hospital Association and the increased Medicaid payments for maternity care. Nurse Jessica and her husband reflect on their experience working together and the reactions they received from colleagues.
