Abstract
Changes in the working environment with respect to innovative working time models are also increasingly affecting patient care. The number of physicians working part-time, for example, is continuously rising. At the same time, a general increase in chronic diseases and multimorbid conditions as well as the growing shortage of medical staff, leads to more workload and dissatisfaction among this profession. This short overview summarizes the current study situation and associated consequences regarding working hours of physicians and gives a first explorative overview of possible solutions.
