The laborist model offers the best approach to standardize care and improve patient safety on the labor unit, improve physician well-being, and decrease physician dissatisfaction/burnout. The concept of the laborist was based on the hospitalist model. The laborist is free of the stresses of a private practice, works a constant and controllable schedule, and can have work shift limitations, thereby eliminating the issue of fatigue and impairment, and improving patient safety while decreasing the potential for adverse outcomes that may result in a liability action. This is what is being demanded both by patients and generation Y physicians.
产科医师模式为规范产房中护理工作、提高患者安全、改善医师工作状态以及减少医师不满/职业倦怠提供了最佳途径。产科医师的概念基于住院医师模式。产科医师没有私人执业的压力，工作时间固定且可控，还可设置工作轮班限制，从而消除疲劳和身体机能受损问题，提高患者安全，同时降低可能引发责任诉讼的不良后果风险。这正是患者和千禧一代医师所要求的。
