This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The average number of hours worked annually by workers in the United States has increased steadily over the past several decades and currently surpasses that of Japan and most of Western Europe. The influence of overtime and extended work shifts on worker health and safety, as well as on worker errors, is gaining increased attention from the scientific community, labor representatives, and industry. U.S. hours of service limits have been regulated for the transportation sector for many years. In recent years, a number of states have been considering legislation to limit mandatory overtime for health care workers. The volume of legislative activity seen nationwide indicates a heightened level of societal concern and the timeliness of the issue. This document summarizes recent scientific findings concerning the relationship between overtime and extended work shifts on worker health and safety. This report provides an integrative review of 52 recently published research reports that examine the associations between long working hours and illnesses, injuries, health behaviors, and performance. The report is restricted to a description of the findings and methods and is not intended as an exhaustive discussion of all important issues related to long working hours. Findings and methods are summarized as reported by the original authors, and the study methods are not critically evaluated for quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the revolutionary Institute of Medicine reports To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm, Keeping Patients Safe lays out guidelines for improving patient safety by changing nurses' working conditions and demands. Licensed nurses and unlicensed nursing assistants are critical participants in our national effort to protect patients from health care errors. The nature of the activities nurses typically perform â€" monitoring patients, educating home caretakers, performing treatments, and rescuing patients who are in crisis â€" provides an indispensable resource in detecting and remedying error-producing defects in the U.S. health care system. During the past two decades, substantial changes have been made in the organization and delivery of health care â€" and consequently in the job description and work environment of nurses. As patients are increasingly cared for as outpatients, nurses in hospitals and nursing homes deal with greater severity of illness. Problems in management practices, employee deployment, work and workspace design, and the basic safety culture of health care organizations place patients at further risk. This newest edition in the groundbreaking Institute of Medicine Quality Chasm series discusses the key aspects of the work environment for nurses and reviews the potential improvements in working conditions that are likely to have an impact on patient safety.

Book Synopsis Impact of Extended Work Hours on Patient Safety by : Angie Andrews

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mandatory overtime has been a standard for most healthcare organizations, and was brought into the spotlight by the Institute of Medicine in the 2004 report Keeping patients safe: Transforming the work environment of nurses (Monahan, 2012). The report showed extended work hours resulted in slowed reaction times, lapses in attention, reduced motivation, compromised problem solving, and decreased energy (Monahan, 2012). The focus of this paper is to identify how extended work hours relate to patient care errors. One facilities mandatory oncall program puts nurses at a high volume of work hours. This facilities on-call shifts are identified as a potential problem. A solution to change the call program and limit work hours is examined as a way to potentially reduce patient related errors. The rational for the solution is the direct correlation that has been seen in extended work hours and fatigue. The implementation of the solution is carefully detailed with step-by-step plans. Important steps that are discussed are the approval process, the implementation of a committee, and the logistics of the implementation process. How the data will be analyzed using the difference-in-differences approach is explained. Variables that need to be considered include causes of the incidents, quality of the report, and organizational factors. Finally how the information is shared with the stakeholders, nursing community, and other facilities is described.

Download or read book Effects of Extended Work Hours and Patient Safety written by Sean Cifranik and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extended work hours and mandatory overtime have become the norm in hospitals and throughout the health care field. Research shows that when working more than twelve hours, the number of errors and near errors increases, as well as the adverse effects on the individual nurse. (Bland, and others, 2006), Ethical issues relating to the health effects of long working hours, states that working overtime increases the likelihood of on the job injuries to the employer as well as increases errors and near errors to the patient. This paper will explain in detail the concern that arises when extended hours or mandatory overtime is worked. The problem description, along with a review of literature, theories involved in the change, a solution, implementation plan, evaluation plan, and dissemination plan will also be discussed. Mandatory overtime and extended hours are constantly being utilized to improve improper staffing. Due to this, errors and near errors are increasing, as well as adverse health concerns increasing to those that care for them. A review of literature was done that supports the theory that the amount of time one works directly affects the errors and health conditions of the nurse. Change theory will be used in order to implement the required knowledge needed to change the status quo. The dissemination plan and evaluation plan will enable monitoring of the effects of proper staffing and its direct effects on patient safety as well as the individual nurse.
