Emergency Medicine Physician Needed ASAPQUALIFICATIONS: Board Certified in Emergency Medicine PRACTICE DATA: This opportunity is a 3-campus rotation, with all 3 campuses no more than 20-minutes apart from each other. Physicians rotate between all 3 equally. The EPs receive the same compensation and benefits, no matter which facility they are rotating into, at any given time. The 3 Campuses are:1.Rock Island, Illinois (West Campus)2.Moline, Illinois (7th Street Campus)3.Bettendorf, Iowa (Terrace Park Campus)Rock Island Campus: This is a 34,000-volume, Level II Trauma Center. EPs work predominantly 10 and 12-hour shifts, with the potential for 8s, if a doc chooses to work fewer hours/day, more days/month. 144 hours/month (1,728/year) constitutes full time, within our hospital system. There are 41 hours of daily physician coverage, with an additional 12 hours of daily PA coverage. The aforementioned coverage creates an average patient-per-hour ratio of 1.8. There is no physical Fast Track, although the PAs deal with the predominant portion of the lesser acute pathologies. This ED is an EMS Base Station. They utilize an electronic charting system for documentation; along with an electronic discharge system, which includes instructions related to diagnoses, diets, immobilization, post procedure, wound care, medications, work/school releases, follow-up, and referral. This department does utilize ultrasound in the Department. This facility has a Hospitalist Program in place; therefore EPs do not admit, write holding orders, or respond to Codes. They see moderate to high acuity cases with a 22% admission rate. However, the Medical Director describes the acuity as being a fun, very manageable level of acuity, and that when you practice in this ED, it reminds an EP why they wanted to practice Emergency Medicine in the first place; this ED is what EM is all about. This facility has outstanding specialty and sub-specialty back-up, inclusive of Neuro Surge and Invasive CATH. This facility has a Door-to-Balloon time quicker than the national average. They ship very little, only bad burns and extreme PEDs. They ship primarily to St. Francis in Peoria, Illinois, which is a Level I Trauma Center and Burn Center. All diagnostics and ancillary services are available 24/7, including Invasive CATH. EPs read plain films initially, with RAD over-reading if necessary. RAD is only 100 feet from ED and there is 24/7 RAD back-up. This facility has the PACS digital, filmless system. They utilize VRC, which stands for Virtual Read Center. Once studies are received over the network, they can be instantly read by the TeleRad on duty. All studies are transmitted over a secured DES 3 encrypted VPN connection. Turn-around times for Lab is very good, with a CBC averaging 30 minutes. Turn-around time for Plain Films is also very good, averaging 15 minutes, or less. This ED is set up in pods, 6 beds/pod. Each EP is responsible for a singular pod, 6 beds. Paul Bolger, the Director, put a Chronic Pain Protocol in place, immediately after he was named Director. This protocol has eliminated drug seekers coming to this ED, because they now know that they will not get what they are striving for. This protocol is in place in all 3 EDs. Moline Campus: This is a 28,000-volume Community ED. This ED is single physician covered, along with 15-hours of PA coverage.
