A Model for Work Intensity in a Pediatric Training Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires residency programs to monitor scheduling, work intensity, and work compression.

Objective

We aimed to create a model for assessing intern work intensity by examining patient and clinical factors in our electronic health systems using multiple linear regression.

Methods

We identified measurable factors that may contribute to resident work intensity within our electronic health systems. In the spring of 2021, we surveyed interns on pediatric hospital medicine rotations each weekday over 5 blocks to rank their daily work intensity on a scale from -100 (bored) to +100 (exasperated). We queried our electronic systems to identify patient care activities completed by study participants on da
