Dr. Byron Brown - Assisting in Contraceptive Management

Dr Byron A Brown is an Obstetrician and Gynecologist who has worked at his own private practice for ten years in Laurens, South Carolina before moving on to Southland Hospital, where he works with patients to resolve their gynecological issues and assist in childbirth issues. He also teaches young doctors completing their residences how to diagnose gynecological conditions and work well with expectant mothers. Dr. Brown considers it part of his job to help other hospital professionals with effective contraceptive management whenever possible as an expert OBGYN physician.

Contraceptive management is a discipline that nurses and other healthcare professionals can specialize in within hospital settings. Dr. Byron Brown sometimes works with contraception management nurses at Southland Hospital to help with patients concerned about their contraception options and methods. Registered nurses have to complete certification in contraception management to independently provide hormonal contraception to eligible clients. Dr. Byron Brown trusts these professionals implicitly and offers his assistance to the nurses in his hospital whenever possible. Nurses who are certified in contraception management use Decision Support Tools, or documents used to help with the assessment, diagnosis. These DSTs are often used in conjunction with clinical judgment and all available evidence.

Dr Byron A Brown believes that patients benefit the most from hospital care if all medical professionals are working together to help them. Dr. Brown works with many professionals at Southland Hospital to help build treatment plans for patients using as many sources of expert opinion and fact as he can.
