Can we hire a 7th doctor?
|
NO
|
Are we able to cover the overnight shifts and provide adequate patient care with the people we have?
|
NO
|
Would it help if we no longer care for the other services' cases? Since the ER caseload is down, being responsible only for our cases may allow more rest time at night.
|
NO
|
Replace 2 doctors with doctors who want to do overnights. If we do this, we should then try to place people in "standard" shifts to minimize the swing shifts.
