Business Modeling of Orthopaedic Trauma in the Emergency Department: An Untapped Revenue Stream.

Introduction: Emergency departments (EDs) and emergency medicine and orthopaedic residencies can be faced with financial challenges while caring for patients. Procedures performed by residents are a potentially viable source of revenue that may make orthopaedic coverage of the ED a financially viable service line.

Methods: A custom text-mining program was created and validated, which allowed evaluation of all orthopaedic resident notes.

A System-Wide Approach to Physician Efficiency and Utilization Rates for Non-Operating Room Anesthesia Sites.

There has been little in the development or application of operating room (OR) management metrics to non-operating room anesthesia (NORA) sites. This is in contrast to the well-developed management framework for the OR management. We hypothesized that by adopting the concept of physician efficiency, we could determine the applicability of this clinical productivity benchmark for physicians providing services for NORA cases at a tertiary care center.
