Care left undone is a relevant yet underexplored phenomenon among physicians active in acute care hospitals. Addressing care left undone requires profession-sensitive approaches that account for differences in role structure, decision-making autonomy and identity. Quality improvement initiatives should include physicians in the co-design of interventions to ensure they reflect clinical realities and foster engagement.

Abstract

Care left undone is a relevant yet underexplored phenomenon among physicians active in acute care hospitals. Addressing care left undone requires profession-sensitive approaches that account for differences in role structure, decision-making autonomy and identity. Quality improvement initiatives should include physicians in the co-design of interventions to ensure they reflect clinical realities and foster engagement.
