Lack of supervision adds to resident errors, study finds
November 19th, 2007 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Residents are vulnerable to making errors that stem from teamwork breakdowns, especially a lack of attending supervision, according to a study in the Oct. 22 Archives of Internal Medicine.
In response, some experts said residencies should focus on better supervision, along with improved team communications. One went so far as to call for a new model of resident training and patient care. Others disagreed, saying residencies had improved such issues since the study’s data were compiled and did not need significant restructuring.
