Evaluating the Impact of Casino-Shifts on Patient Flow in an Emergency Department: A Pilot Study
In our study, our patient flow indicators of median WT and LOS were longer in the casino-shift intervention period by an absolute difference of 17 minutes and 22 minutes respectively. As a relatively new concept in emergency medicine scheduling, the impact of the casino-shift model on both well-being and ED efficiency warrants further investigation given the potential benefits to an occupation prone to burnout.
