Individualized throughput metric reports for emergency medicine residents: Impact on time to disposition and resident perceptions.

Background: Research suggests that quantitative metric reports can improve the clinical performance of emergency physicians; however, few studies have examined their effects on physicians in training. The primary study objective was to assess the effects of providing emergency medicine (EM) residents with individualized throughput metrics with regard to emergency department (ED) disposition times.

Methods: We performed a single-center, retrospective, observational study from January 2021 to December 2022 examining ED disposition times before and after providing upper-level EM residents individualized throughput metrics.
