Ob Hospitalist Group

What Ob Hospitalist Group does

Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG), founded in 2006 and headquartered in the Greenville, South Carolina area, is the largest and only dedicated OB/GYN hospitalist employer in the United States. The company contracts with hospitals and health systems to provide 24/7 in-hospital obstetric physician coverage, stationing board-certified OB/GYN clinicians and certified nurse midwives in labor and delivery units and obstetric emergency departments (OBEDs). As of 2025, OBHG operates 310 hospital partner programs across 42 states with roughly 2,050 clinicians, handling approximately 820,000 patient encounters annually and achieving a 95% contract renewal rate.

The company's core product is its OB/GYN hospitalist program, augmented by four complementary modules: the SAFE risk management and quality program (which includes a hotline, patient safety organization participation, TeamSTEPPS training, and quality dashboards), dedicated Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) programs (178 active across the network), the Maternal Health Access Solutions (MHAS) offering for rural and low-volume hospitals, and an AI-enabled revenue cycle layer via a Commure partnership that has deployed autonomous coding across nearly 200 care sites and ambient AI documentation integrated with partner EHRs.

OBHG generates revenue through multi-year, quote-based managed services contracts with hospitals; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by facility size, delivery volume, and coverage scope. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via a regionally organized business development team (West, East, South/Central), supported by content marketing (blog, webinars, podcasts), case studies, RFP templates, and an interactive recruiting map for clinician acquisition. Recent strategic emphasis has been on clinical quality infrastructure (new CCO), financial and growth leadership (new CFO and CGO), technology-enabled efficiency (Commure coding), and product expansion into rural and underserved segments via MHAS.

Core offering

Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) staffs hospitals 24/7 with board-certified OB/GYN hospitalists who deliver immediate obstetric care to every expectant mother presenting to the labor and delivery unit or obstetric emergency department. Programs are structured as managed-service contracts custom-designed per hospital (coverage model, volume, integration with private-practice physicians). The core hospitalist program is paired with modular offerings: the SAFE risk and quality program, the pioneer Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) model, Maternal Health Access Solutions (MHAS) for rural and low-volume facilities, and an AI-driven autonomous coding deployment.

This core product is supported by complementary modules including the SAFE Program (risk management and quality), Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) Programs, Maternal Health Access Solutions (MHAS) for rural and smaller hospitals, and the Commure Autonomous Coding integration for revenue cycle automation. Together, these offerings form an integrated maternal care delivery solution for hospital partners.

Products and services

• OBHG OB/GYN Hospitalist Programs 24/7 OB/GYN hospitalist coverage provided to hospitals, with dedicated board-certified clinicians stationed in the hospital to deliver consistent, timely care for every pregnant woman presenting to the labor and delivery unit or obstetric emergency department. Programs reduce delays in emergent OB/GYN care, improve outcomes, reduce wait times, and increase patient satisfaction versus traditional triage, while offering collaborative, non-competitive support to private-practice physicians.
• Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) Programs A dedicated unit inside the hospital that evaluates and treats pregnancy-related and postpartum emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, staffed by clinicians specifically trained in obstetrics. OBHG helps hospitals design and manage OBED programs as a specialized add-on to its core hospitalist coverage.
• SAFE Program (Risk Management and Quality) Comprehensive risk-management and quality program implemented between OBHG clinicians and hospital partners to mitigate obstetric risk and improve outcomes. It utilizes OBHG's SAFE hotline, proactive data trend analysis, benchmarking, SAFE hospital reviews, patient safety organization participation, and customized quality-metric risk-share agreements. Reported outcomes include 30% fewer malpractice payouts than the national average and a 75% reduction in serious harm events.
• Maternal Health Access Solutions (MHAS) A customized approach supporting smaller hospitals — including rural facilities, critical access hospitals, hospitals with low birth volumes, and community hospitals — in maintaining and growing women's health services. Addresses staffing shortages, clinician burnout, and patient access through flexible coverage options such as on-site coverage, part-time coverage, certified nurse-midwife care, birthing center support, and local clinic support.
• Commure Autonomous Coding (deployed via partnership) AI-powered autonomous medical coding technology deployed across nearly 200 OBHG care sites. The NLP-driven system processes clinical documentation to extract diagnosis and procedure codes, automating over 85% of charge coding and cutting charge-entry time by 83% for clinicians, with integration to more than 60 EHRs.
