Scheduling in the ED

Jun 9, 201115 yr

My department is thinking about making some changes to the way the schedule is made. I was just wondering how other EDs do it.

My ER is a level 2 trauma center that sees around 300 patients a day.

- Do you work a set schedule? Do employees self-schedule? Or something else?

- Are you required to be on-call? How often?

- Is staffing adjusted for high/low census? How?

- Are you required to work weekends? How often?

- How are holidays scheduled?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

We self schedule 8 weeks at a time with the following rules:

3 Mondays

3 Fridays

5 W/E shifts

We have a holiday package (A or B) that flips each year.

We get one request off per week.
