A Dynamic Marketplace for Distributing Anesthesia Call: A Quality Improvement Initiative.
Journal of Medical Systems 2024 March 27
Anesthesiologists have a significant responsibility to provide care at all hours of the day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. This call burden carries a significant lifestyle constraint that can impact relationships, affect provider wellbeing, and has been associated with provider burnout. This quality improvement study analyzes the effects of a dynamic call marketplace, which allows anesthesiologists to specify how much call they would like to take across a spectrum of hypothetical compensation levels, from very low to very high. The system then determines the market equilibrium price such that every anesthesiologist gets exactly the amount of desired call. A retrospective analysis compared percentage participation in adjusting call burden both pre- and post-implementation of a dynamic marketplace during the years of 2017 to 2023. Additionally, a 2023 post-implementation survey was sent out assessing various aspects of anesthesiologist perception of the new system including work-life balance and job satisfaction. The dynamic call marketplace in this study enabled a more effective platform for adjusting call levels, as there was a statistically significant increase in the percentage of anesthesiologists participating in call exchanged during post- compared to pre-implementation (p < 0.0001). The satisfaction survey suggested agreement among anesthesiologists that the dynamic call marketplace positively affected professional satisfaction and work-life balance. Further, the level of agreement with these statements was most prevalent among middle career stage anesthesiologists (11-20 years as attending physician). The present system may target elements with the capacity to increase satisfaction, particularly among physicians most at risk of burnout within the anesthesia workforce.
