Hospital workers are working longer hours
A 2023 survey of medical professionals found that more than 1 in 3 health care workers have made a mistake while working because of a lack of sleep, with 82% saying that patient care suffers the most when the workers are fatigued. 7 in 10 health care workers described their current workload and stress as untenable. Understaffing, burnout, and heavy administrative workloads are among the main reasons.
