Inhaltsangabe

In 2003, the organization overseeing graduate medical education adopted common program requirements to restrict medical resident workweeks, including limits of an average of 80 hours over 4 weeks and limiting the longest consecutive period of work to 30 hours, in order to protect patients and residents from unsafe conditions resulting from excessive fatigue. This book examines how those requirements were implemented and their impact on safety, education, and training institutions. The book recommends more opportunities for sleep, as well as enhanced supervision, appropriate workload, and changes in the work environment. About 55 pages of appendices offer task statements, public meeting agendas, international experiences, and a glossary. The book will be useful to residents, medical educators, those involved with academic training institutions, specialty societies, professional groups, and consumer/patient safety organizations as they advocate for an improved culture of safety. The editors are affiliated with the National Research Council's Committee on Optimizing Graduate Medical Trainee (Resident) Hours and Work Schedule to Improve Patient Safety.
