Clinical Context (Does Multitasking Improve Performance? Evidence from the Emergency Department)
-
ED physicians are overworked, having to see a significantly larger volume of patients on a daily basis than only a few years ago.
-
Researchers choose to study the emergency department for several reasons. First, it is a high-paced work environment where multitasking is rampant and important decisions are frequently made under pressing time and operating constraints.
-
The ED provides natural variability in multitasking over the course of the year for the same physician, which allows us to identify performance changes.
-
In the ED, patient revisit within 24 hours is a frequently used measure of quality of care, and is therefore an appropriate measure of the physician’s performance
