APP is expected to work independently in our fast track 'VUE'. It is a 10 bed area within the emergency department. The attending physicians are available 24hrs a day for cases to review or evaluate; lend guidance or answer questions as needed.
Currently we have an 11a-11p shift we would like to staff 7 days a week. There are permanent providers on the schedule for a portion of the month. Lansing ED is single doctor covered from 2a until 8a 7 days a week. We have a staggered start schedule with maximum coverage for doctors in the afternoon with 3 doctors on duty from 2p-6p which is our busiest time. There is one APP shift daily from 11a-11p. We do have Emergency medicine residents averaging two shifts a day at varied times. There would be no supervision requirements for resident cases, those are handled by the doctors.
