Considerations (Does Multitasking Improve Performance? Evidence from the Emergency Department)

  • Researchers further examine the data to verify the lack of cherry picking. Given that the arrival of patients is a random process, they expect the characteristics of the patient at the top of the pile (conditional on the physician’s decision to pick up a new patient) to be independent of the level of physician multitasking

  • By including the patient’s clinical controls (which is determined after a complete diagnosis) in our estimators, they account for more detailed information of the patient’s medical condition and level of severity beyond that available to the physician at the time of pick-up.
