Self-report of work hours is burdensome and often inaccurate. We aimed to validate a method that automatically determines provider shift duration based on electronic health record (EHR) timestamps across multiple inpatient settings within a single institution.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003We developed an algorithm to calculate shift start and end times for inpatient providers based on EHR timestamps. We validated the algorithm based on overlap between calculated shifts and scheduled shifts. We then demonstrated a use case by calculating shifts for pediatric residents on inpatient rotations from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016, comparing hours worked and number of shifts by rotation and role.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003We collected 6.3\u2009\u00d7\u2009107 EHR timestamps for 144 residents on 771 inpatient rotations, yielding 14,678 EHR-calculated shifts. Validation on a subset of shifts demonstrated 100% shift match and 87.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3% overlap (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009standard error [SE]) with scheduled shifts. Senior residents functioning as front-line clinicians worked more hours per 4-week block (mean\u2009\u00b1\u2009SE: 273.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7) than senior residents in supervisory roles (253\u2009\u00b1\u20092.3) and junior residents (241\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5). Junior residents worked more shifts per block (21\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1) than senior residents (18\u2009\u00b1\u20090.1).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Automatic calculation of inpatient provider work hours is feasible using EHR timestamps. An algorithm to assess provider work hours demonstrated criterion validity via comparison with scheduled shifts. Differences between junior and senior residents in calculated mean hours worked and number of shifts per 4-week block were also consistent with differences in scheduled shifts and duty-hour restrictions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1676819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]],"date-time":"2019-01-18T09:40:56Z","timestamp":1547804456000},"page":"028-037","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Automatic Detection of Front-Line Clinician Hospital Shifts: A Novel Use of Electronic Health Record Timestamp Data"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Adam","family":"Dziorny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"}]},{"given":"Evan","family":"Orenstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hospital Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, United States"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Lindell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesia and Critical Care, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Hames","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Hospital Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, United States"}]},{"given":"Nicole","family":"Washington","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics Residency Program, Department of Pediatrics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"}]},{"given":"Bimal","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Pediatrics, Department of Pediatrics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,9]]},"container-title":["Applied Clinical Informatics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676819.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T21:13:37Z","timestamp":1557177217000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1676819"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"01","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,2]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1676819","relation":{},"ISSN":["1869-0327"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1869-0327","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,1]]}}}
