OBJECTIVE: To comply with the removal of the 88-hour week exemption and to support additional operative experience during junior residency, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) switched from a night-float call schedule to a modified 24-hour call schedule on July 1, 2019. This study compared the volumes of clinical, procedural, and operative cases experienced by postgraduate year 2 (PGY-2) and PGY-3 residents under these systems. METHODS: The authors retrospectively studied billing and related clinical records, call schedules, and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs for PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents at OHSU, a tertiary academic health center, for the first 4 months of the academic years from 2017 to 2020. The authors analyzed the volumes of new patient consultations, bedside procedures, and operative procedures performed by each PGY-2 and PGY-3 resident during these years, comparing the volumes experienced under each call system. RESULTS: Changing from a PGY-2 resident-focused night-float call system to a 24-hour call system that was more evenly distributed between PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents resulted in decreased volume of new patient consultations, increased volume of operative procedures, and no change in volume of bedside procedures for PGY-2 residents. PGY-3 residents experienced a decrease in operative procedure volume under the 24-hour call system. CONCLUSIONS: Transition from a night-float system to a 24-hour call system altered the distribution of clinical and procedural experiences between PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents. Further research is necessary to understand the impact of these changes on educational outcomes, quality and safety of patient care, and resident satisfaction.
目的:为了遵守取消 88 小时周豁免的规定,并支持住院医师培训早期增加手术经验,俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)于 2019 年 7 月 1 日从夜间轮班制改为改良的 24 小时轮班制。本研究比较了在这两种制度下,住院医师 2 年级(PGY-2)和住院医师 3 年级(PGY-3)住院医师经历的临床、程序和手术病例量。
方法:作者回顾性地研究了俄勒冈健康与科学大学(OHSU)的 PGY-2 和 PGY-3 住院医师的计费和相关临床记录、轮班表以及研究生医学教育认证委员会的病例记录,这些研究是在 2017 年至 2020 年的每个学术年的前 4 个月进行的。作者分析了每位 PGY-2 和 PGY-3 住院医师在这些年期间进行的新患者咨询、床边程序和手术程序的数量,比较了在每种轮班系统下的数量。
结果:从以 PGY-2 住院医师为重点的夜间轮班系统转变为更均匀地分布在 PGY-2 和 PGY-3 住院医师之间的 24 小时轮班系统,导致 PGY-2 住院医师的新患者咨询量减少,手术程序量增加,床边程序量不变。PGY-3 住院医师在 24 小时轮班系统下手术程序量减少。
结论:从夜间轮班系统过渡到 24 小时轮班系统改变了 PGY-2 和 PGY-3 住院医师之间的临床和程序经验分配。需要进一步研究以了解这些变化对教育成果、患者护理质量和安全性以及居民满意度的影响。
