Excerpt

While occupational stress and fatigue have been well documented as a source of medical error, current medical practice largely leaves individual healthcare providers to their own device. With the exception of recently established rules limiting the number of hours physicians in training can work (to counteract errors related to sleep deprivation), few regulations exist addressing occupational stress and fatigue in medicine. In some clinical arenas, fatigue countermeasure programs have been studied, but have rarely been implemented on a larger scale [1]. Generally, an individual provider is expected to consistently operate at high levels of efficiency regardless of workload and task complexity. …
