4.1 Literature Review
4.1.2 Setting an Agenda and Time Management (organization, time of visits, lunch, dinner) to Prevent Burnout in a High Stress, High Risk Environment
To deal with the problem of healthcare system dynamics, there are options instead of being driven by insanity and ending with "burnout syndrome". The core aspect is the time management to attend effectively the daily obligations without neglecting our own health. We are aware of how difficult is to put it into practice, but there is a good starting point for commencing. First step would be to schedule a timetable to attend medical consultations, for approximately half the working day no matter how many patients attended daily, since patients would also gain in quality of assistance received. It would be good to permit an official half-hour rest period that would allow the staff to have time to eat something in the middle of the morning, as well as to spend some time with colleagues. It would help the professional to resume the work later more efficiently and relaxed .Once the health care activity was resumed, the administrative tasks would be completed and, subsequently, they would be able to evaluate in-patients if they had any, solving needs that may arise in time. In the case of paediatrics, you can take advantage of the good mood that characterizes these patients to use it as a good anti-stress method. At the end of the day, do hang the stethoscope and be sure to disconnect completely from the hospital. You are not a better doctor for devoting all your time to your patients, this is a mistake that many professionals make and it ends up with taking its toll. Like everything in this life, everything works in its right measure.

This is just one example of how to propose a good time optimization during care activity.
