@Jerry_DurhamPT picking lesser of 2 evils. Making residents work more hours = safer 4 pts than shorter shifts w/ frequent shift changes

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT when they studied why, it appeared more frequent handoffs was associated w worse pt care than longer shifts

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT basically they shortened shift lengths a few years ago expecting it would improve pt outcomes. Outcomes actually got worse.

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT Nor be on receiving end of a medical game of telephone when new guy come on shift

@Jerry_DurhamPT I certainly wouldn't want to be seen by some1 on hr 22!

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT TBH we should just avoid getting sick the entire month of July until residents figure out what they're doing anyway! 😂

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT errors in patient care ;)

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT it was found increased hours didnt negatively impact pt care, rather incr'd # of handoffs when shift length was limited

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT patient handoffs (to another resident at shift change) were responsible for more patient mistakes than length of shift.

[Laura Starks DPT @lauralwebb]

@Jerry_DurhamPT so they actually found MORE patient mistakes were made when they changed this rule a few years ago to avoid 24 hr shifts.
