Lafleur A, Harvey A, Simard C. Can Med Educ J. 2018;9(4):e111-e119.
Investigators implemented a night-float rotation in acute-care settings in order to adhere to duty hours restrictions for trainees. Safety culture, as measured by the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, remained strong following implementation of the cross-coverage system. The authors conclude that a night-float system is logistically feasible and did not negatively impact safety.
