Effect of resident physicians in a supervisory role on efficiency in the emergency department.
The authors sought to examine the impact of a staffing model involving a supervisory resident "pre-attending" (PAT) on emergency department (ED) throughput and length of stay (LOS). Over 26,000 unique patient encounters at a university-affiliated community ED were retrospectively analyzed. They found that the presence of a PAT is associated with a statistically significant increase in service time of five minutes, but this magnitude is likely operationally insignificant. They concluded that the negligible increase in service time is offset by the benefit to residents' training.
