摘要

Background: The Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Advanced Practitioner (AP) service at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center/ Seattle Cancer Care Alliance provides high-level care to complex patients in inpatient, outpatient, and specialty clinic settings. Contribution from APs is integral to the consistent success of the program. Citing poor work-life balance largely attributed to excessive hours worked, approximately one-third of APs resigned around 2015. This staffing crisis resulted in significant workforce loss with many years of highly valuable BMT and institutional knowledge. In 2017, we implemented a comprehensive schedule modification which aimed to maintain excellent patient care while improving work-life balance and retention of APs by transition-ing to shorter workweeks. Intervention: We reviewed models in 5 major BMT centers and found that all had compressed workweeks. A schedule was designed with the following goals: maintain quality and continuity of patient care, preserve flexibility for APs to work in different settings, decrease moonlighting, limit excessive hours, and improve AP work-life balance and retention. The inpatient schedule consists of buddy pairs sharing a cohort of patients. The outpatient model is 4-day workweeks with additional rotations covering scheduling gaps and weekends. To support these changes and limit reliance on non-BMT AP staffing, the total number of APs increased. Effects: A survey of APs in 2017 who had been employed before and after the scheduling modification demonstrated that 88% said the work environment was very or moderately improved. Moonlighting cost in the 6 months pre- and post-implementation dropped from a monthly average of $38,200 to $16,400, a 57% decrease. Retention data show statistically significant improvement (p=0.037): in FY15 AP turnover rate was 22.2% (N=36), while in FY19, the turnover rate dropped to 7.1% (N=56). Conclusions: BMT APs at our center successfully transitioned to a scheduling model with shorter workweeks which resulted in more appropriate hours worked, better work-life balance, and improved retention rates. During this transition, we maintained excellent quality of care for our patients, reflected in the fact that our center is one of only 5 out of 177 transplant centers nationwide to achieve higher-than-expected survival rates. The upfront cost of this scheduling change has been mitigated by less reliance on moonlighting and improved retention rates (it is estimated that replacement of an AP costs at least $250K). The preservation of clinical and institutional knowledge is extremely valuable and, though difficult to quantify, certainly contributes to improved care for patients. Recommendations: An impending shortage of US oncologists is predicted given an aging population, higher cancer prevalence, and rapidly expanding therapeutic options. Oncology APs have been and will continue to be integral in team-based models providing high-level care to these complex patients. Centers should strive to support AP retention which can be achieved in part by limiting excessive hours and burnout by implementing a compressed workweek model. Future studies are needed to collect concrete data on work-life balance, hours worked, burnout, and retention rates to help justify the increased staffing required to support these schedule changes.
