Abstract

<p>  Under the overtime work regulations for physicians that will be enforced in April 2024, the upper limit for overtime work, including work during holidays, is 960 hours per year in principle, whereas an upper limit of 1,860 hours per year is tentatively set for some medical institutions. Medical institutions must focus on improving the working environment of hospital-employed physicians and, in particular, reducing the amount of work. Building a night-work system and obtaining approval for night or day duty from the director of the Labor Standards Office greatly affect working hours. Settling aside time from working hours for self-improvement might also be effective for shortening overtime work. Task shifting is important, but it requires a change in the mindset of neurosurgeons. Due to the new overtime regulations, neurosurgical institutions will possibly become more centralized, to manage stroke patients.</p>
