We do not have any call for our ED physicians. They do not round anywhere other than on their ED patients in the ED department. They will admit to hospital but via our Hospitalist. They do not write the admission orders, but they do call the Hospitalist and the Hospitalist makes the decision whether to admit.
Also, the ED physician is the only physician in the hospital often and always at night. We will begin having medical residents here starting July 2024 and they will rotate through the ED. The ED physician responds to a code on med surg if one is called, which is not often.
Our current open shifts vary, both days and nights and several dates every month starting in May.
