Those restrictions are for residents (trainees).
They were also found not to improve patient outcomes (possibly due to increased number of handoffs, which are highly error prone).
- hiatus 1y agoDo you think it makes sense that doctors can work longer hours than truck drivers?
- n8henrie 1y agoIf the available evidence does not show an improvement in patient outcomes with shorter hours, and if longer hours are worked willingly and enable them to treat more patients (iso widespread physician shortages), yes I do. Turning the question around, if mandating shorter hours for physicians were found to result in higher rates of significant patient harm, would you be in favor of those restrictions?
