ACGME seeking proposals for duty hour literature review
The ACGME took another step forward in its duty hour review/reform process today with a letter from the organization’s CEO, Thomas Nasca, MD, MACP, requesting proposals for A Comprehensive Literature Review and Analysis of Residency Training and Duty Hours Experience.
Individuals interested in performing the review are encouraged to submit a proposal describing their plans and procedures by May 22, and the final report is due by the end of August. The final report will be the ACGME Duty Hours Task Force as they make their decisions regarding new resident work hours, the letter said.
The ACGME asks applicants to review national and international literature of peer reviewed articles regarding:
- Resident duty hours
- Supervision
- Working conditions
- Sleep needs, patterns, and deprivation
- Fatigue
- Well-being
- Education
- Learning environment
- Moonlighting
- Medical errors
- Effects of the 2003 resident duty hour standards
- Other studies about resident training in teaching and non teaching settings
The ACGME will inform any and all accepted proposals by May 27,2009.
