• How many patients to be seen every day? This is determined based on hospital inpatient census and how many additional providers have availability to assist. It also varies if the Locums is performing TEE s. Hospital census has been running around 20-25 patients per day and we have 2 NP s and residents assigned to rounding coverage. TEE s 1-2 daily.
• Is Rounding in both hospitals every day? Weekday rounding is scheduled ahead of time for Monday-Friday 7a-5p at both Hospital and is determined by need for coverage (not both locations at the same time).
