Choosing the Right Schedule

There is no single schedule that will be appropriate for every institution.  The fatigue management suggestions in this toolkit provide general guidelines, but schedules and other interventions need to be tailored to the care needs of individual hospitals and settings.  The Harvard Work Hours Health and Safety Group has experience helping to design, implement, and assess reduced work hours schedules in a range of medical and non-medical environments.  We would be glad to speak further with you if you are interested in working together to design an intervention or assess its effects.  For details on how we can help, please contact us.
