Overview
As leaders and supervisors for trainees, a primary mission is to educate through the patients we serve. Institutions, while extremely supportive of that mission, must also be mindful of the financial "bottom line." To achieve balance between training and cost as well as recognize the contracting GME dollars from Medicare, some institutions have looked to alternative staffing models because of the notion that housestaff provide an inefficient means of delivering cost-effective care. While there is 20th century literature to support this belief, 21st century health care has necessitated taking another look in an attempt to answer the following question: "are housestaff worth the cost at your institution?" This workshop will highlight some of the recent work addressing this question along with tools to better quantify housestaff value at your own institution.
