Slide Presentation of the 2007 Annual Meeting of AHRQ

Workhours in the "reduced hours" programs declined substantially

Significant reductions between 2003-4 in:

• Mean weekly duty hours (76.6 to 68.0, p<0.001)
• Percent working over 80 hours per week (44.0% to 16.6%, p<0.001)
• But—little change in reported patient load, or volume of call-night activities

Notes:

But -- very little difference in the reported patient load or volume of call-night activities
