Abstract

Purpose: To understand the afterhours radiology workforce and views towards imaging volumes, compensation, overnight challenges, and work-from-home.  METHODS: Survey questions focusing on the afterhours radiology workforce were created. The survey was administered by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the data analysis performed by the ACR in partnership with an independent market research agency. The confidence level was set at 95%, with an error rate of +/- 2.2%.  RESULTS: A total of 1109 out of 1844 (60.1%) survey participants responded to the afterhours survey. A majority of respondents (56%) had worked an afterhours shift while a minority had worked a late-evening (18%) or overnight shift (13%). Irrespective of practice type, the majority of radiologists thought afterhours volumes were not manageable, and afterhours compensation was not equitable. Less than half of those who worked overnight shifts believed they were given adequate compensatory time-off for recovery. The majority of respondents supported work-from-home for afterhours shifts.

Conclusions: As the largest survey to date on after-hours radiology, these findings should be carefully considered by practices aiming to successfully recruit and retain radiologists in this critical niche.

美国的下班后诊断放射学:放射科医生对成像量、补偿、在家工作和补偿休假的看法。
目的:了解下班后的放射科工作人员以及对成像量、补偿、夜间挑战和在家工作的看法。方法:针对下班后的放射科工作人员创建调查问题。这项调查由美国放射学会(ACR)进行,数据分析由ACR与一家独立的市场研究机构合作进行。置信水平设为95%,错误率为+/- 2.2%。结果:1844名调查参与者中有1109人(60.1%)回应了下班后的调查。大多数受访者(56%)曾上过夜班,而少数人曾上过晚班(18%)或夜班(13%)。无论执业类型如何,大多数放射科医生认为下班后的业务量难以管理,下班后的补偿也不公平。在那些上夜班的人中,只有不到一半的人认为他们得到了足够的补偿性休假来恢复健康。大多数受访者支持下班后在家工作。结论:作为迄今为止最大的关于下班后放射学的调查,这些发现应该在实践中仔细考虑,旨在成功招募和留住这一关键利基的放射科医生。
