Abstract

Health care systems in many countries have been in transformation for several decades now. They are subject to demographic and epidemiological changes in the populations served on the one hand, and technological changes that directly influence professional practices on the other. These are all factors that create pressures for the transformation of the work of key stakeholders in health care institutions, nurses and physicians. In the context of rising costs and a shortage of specialized resources, institutions and decision-makers are faced with the challenge of optimizing the use and efficiency of these key stakeholders. The objective of this study was to draw a portrait, based on the published scientific literature, of the activities carried out by health professionals during their working hours. The research questions asked were as follows: (1) What are the activities carried out by health professionals (doctors and nurses) and how are they defined? (2) What is the share of clinical (patient-care-related) and non-clinical (non-patient care-related) activities performed by health professionals (doctors and nurses) during their working hours? (3) What proportion of non-clinical activities performed by physicians and nurses may not be part of their work? How do these activities affect the efficiency of the organization of care? Les systèmes de soins de santé de plusieurs pays sont en transformation depuis quelques décennies déjà. Ils sont soumis d’une part aux changements démographiques et épidémiologiques des populations desservies et, d’autre part, aux changements technologiques qui influencent directement les pratiques professionnelles. Ce sont autant de facteurs qui créent des pressions pour la transformation du travail des intervenants clé des établissements de soins, les infirmières et les médecins. Dans le contexte de croissance des coûts et de pénurie de ressources spécialisées, les établissements et les décideurs sont confrontés au défi d’optimiser l’utilisation de ces intervenants clés et leur efficience. L’objectif de cette étude était de dresser un portrait, à partir de la littérature scientifique publiée, des activités réalisées par les professionnels de la santé pendant leur temps de travail. Les questions de recherche posées étaient les suivantes : (1) Quelles sont les activités réalisées par les professionnels de santé (médecins et infirmières) et comment se définissent-elles? (2) Quelle est la part des activités cliniques (liées aux soins d’un patient) et non cliniques (non liées aux soins d’un patient) réalisées par les professionnels de la santé (médecins et infirmières) pendant leur temps de travail? (3) Quelle est la part des activités non cliniques réalisées par les médecins et les infirmières qui pourraient ne pas faire partie de leur travail? Comment ces activités affectent-elles l’efficience de l’organisation des soins?
