abstract="The accomplishment of a scientific organisation of work is not an end in itself, but it is an objective necessity in Public Health, too. That is why studies of the working hours are an important instrument of management. At the district hospital Cottbus these studies were carried out not only in nurses, but also in doctors on wards of the clinic for internal diseases, of the clinic for surgical diseases, of the clinic for pediatric diseases and of the clinic for gynecological diseases. The effective action on the patient of ward physicians and interns in these departments amounts to the very balanced daily portion of about 70 to 85% on weekdays. The portion of only 2 to 5% of management of senior physicians in 2 of the 4 inspected departments seems to be too small. The portion of social and scientific work of doctors from several departments can also not be evaluated as sufficiently. The analysis of this pilot study shows a range of important results and conclusions concerning the effective utilization of the working hours fund and the opening of working hours reserves.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
