A Novel Approach Using Relative Value Units to Quantify Workload and Its Association With Patient and Family Experience in the Pediatric Emergency Department
High ED workload, as measured by overall RVUs, was significantly associated with negative PFE. Similar results were found when we substituted NEDOCS for overall RVUs. Our findings suggest that overall RVUs may be a useful measure of ED workload and might provide a quantitative target for quality improvement.
