It's not the task, it's the shifting exploring physicians' and leaders' perspectives on task shifting in emergency departments in Norway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Task shifting is an approach where specific tasks are transferred, when convenient, from health workers with high qualifications to health workers with less training and lower qualifications. This approach is mainly used to utilize the available human resources for health. Tasks that are traditionally linked to the physician role have increasingly been transferred to registered nurses during the last decade. Knowledge regarding the experiences and reflections of physicians and their leaders related to giving up tasks or how such policies can best be implemented is limited. This study aimed to explore physicians' and their leaders' perspectives on task shifting, especially to registered nurses, in different Norwegian emergency departments.
