Researchers find that initially, the multitasking physician experiences fewer 24-hour patient revisits. However, with increasing levels of multitasking, they begin to see more frequent 24-hour revisits. This provides support for hypothesis 2. Based on these estimates, the optimal number of patients to multitask to reduce revisits is around 4.

Based on the model specification the optimal level of physician multitasking that maximizes throughput rate is around 5 patients. However, the level of multitasking that maximizes throughput will likely vary across physicians, due to differences in individual working styles and inherent capabilities.
