Abstract

Acute care surgery (ACS) encompasses five major pillars - trauma, surgical critical care, emergency general surgery, elective general surgery and surgical rescue. The specialty continues to evolve and due to high-acuity, high-volume and around-the-clock care, the workload can be significant leading to workforce challenges such as rightsizing of staff, work-life imbalance, surgeon burnout and more. To address these challenges and ensure a stable workforce, ACS as a specialty must be deliberate and thoughtful about how it manages workload and workforce going forward. In this article, we address the importance, benefits and challenges of defining full-time equivalence for ACS as a method to establish a stable ACS workforce for the future.

在急诊外科领域定义全职同等学历的重要性和益处。
急诊外科(ACS)包括五大支柱--创伤、外科重症监护、急诊普通外科、择期普通外科和外科抢救。该专科在不断发展,由于高危、高容量和全天候护理,其工作量可能会非常大,从而导致劳动力方面的挑战,如人员合理化、工作与生活失衡、外科医生倦怠等。为了应对这些挑战并确保稳定的员工队伍,作为一个专科,ACS 必须对今后如何管理工作量和员工队伍深思熟虑。在这篇文章中,我们将探讨定义 ACS 全职当量的重要性、益处和挑战,以此为未来建立一支稳定的 ACS 员工队伍。
