Description:
Recognizing that effectively managing the flow of an emergency department requires more than what is taught during medical training, the Efficiency Academy was created for physicians and APPs. Clinicians completing the course learn what it means to “work smarter...not harder” in order to improve productivity and enhance ED flow.

The Efficiency Academy conveys best practices from the analysis of data collected from thousands of patient encounters and interviews with top performers from across the country. Since its inception in 2010, hundreds of physicians and APPs have gone through the Efficiency Academy and the results have been impressive. Participants have improved their productivity and have learned to better manage their workflow, translating to less time spent documenting and wrapping up patient dispositions after a shift ends and improved provider satisfaction.

Learning Objectives:
• Demonstrate how to manage tasks during a shift in order to leave on time at the end of a shift.
• Treat patients efficiently.
• Improve physician interactions with consultants, partners, and staff.
