In response to residency work hour restrictions, programs restructured call schedules, increasing the use of short call (daytime admitting teams). Few data exist on the effect of short call on quality of patient care. Our objective was to examine the effect of short call admission on length of stay and quality of care for patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
