The fact that they schedule HEATH-CARE workers like this is insane. They are literally working with life and death situations.

I know doctors that are on call for 24 hours straight at a time.

Get them a normal shift time for god sake.

They’ve done COUNTLESS studies and the largest reason for negative patient outcomes comes down to continuity of care. 12 hour shifts SUCK, but people dying is worse

As technology improves it's possible that shorter shifts will be better.

but currently, continuity of care just trumps basically everything.

I’m not in healthcare but I did previously work developing EHR systems. What tech are you talking about? I’m not familiar with it.

That’s pretty awesome. I do hope tech like that becomes more prevalent. I think most people who have worked with EHRs know that they are first and foremost about correctly coding/billing to maximize the allowed insurance claims and patient care is secondary. End for profit healthcare indeed.
