Pager-based activity sampling (PAS) offers a cost-effective way to track resident time in hospitals. This method successfully evaluated changes in resident schedules, improving time allocation for education and patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Services Research
  • Clinical Operations

Background:

  • Understanding resident time allocation is crucial for optimizing training programs.
  • Previous methods for activity sampling may be costly or disruptive.
  • Clinical faculty require data to inform resident scheduling and improve efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a behavioral baseline of resident time utilization.
  • To evaluate the impact of revised resident assignment policies on time spent.
  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of Pager-based Activity Sampling (PAS) in a pediatric residency program.

Main Methods:

  • Pager-based activity sampling (PAS) was employed to collect data on resident activities.
  • A program evaluation was conducted within an urban children's hospital residency program.

  • Resident assignment policies were altered to test their effect on time allocation.

    • Main Results:

    • PAS provided statistically supportable conclusions regarding resident time use.
    • The method was cost-effective and minimally disruptive to residents and patients.
    • Data indicated potential for optimizing time spent in transit, education, and direct patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Pager-based activity sampling is a viable, low-cost tool for evaluating resident time management.
    • PAS can inform evidence-based adjustments to residency program structures.
    • This method supports efficient allocation of resident time towards educational and clinical goals.
