Productivity, efficiency, and overall performance comparisons between attendings working solo versus attendings working with residents staffing models in an emergency department: A Large-Scale Retrospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:Attending physician productivity and efficiency can be affected when working simultaneously with Residents. To gain a better understanding of this effect, we aim to compare productivity, efficiency, and overall performance differences among Attendings working solo versus working with Residents in an Emergency Department (ED). METHODS:Data were extracted from the electronic medical records of all patients seen by ED Attendings and/or Residents during the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017. Attending productivity was measured based on the number of new patients enrolled per hour per provider. Attending efficiency was measured based on the provider-to-disposition time (PDT). Attending overall performance was measured by Attending Performance Index (API). Furthe
