Experiments with a shorter workweek have shown that shown that working fewer hours improves worker well-being and productivity. But we can’t expect employers to implement this transformative change of their own volition.

Because one of the biggest obstacles of continuity of care is handing over the patient. We try to write accurate notes and try to give complete report but there’s always stuff lost. You hope whoever you hand off to gets a chance to actually read progress notes but that’s not realistically going to happen. That’s why we don’t tend to do three shifts. Report easily takes 15 to 30 minutes of just talking and we still miss stuff.
Now you can set it up so this isn’t an issue but that requires staffing for clean documentation. I’d also like a pony.
