I propose a methodology to compare individual emergency physician (EP) work patterns. This is intended to generate discussion within the specialty. A work pattern graph shows individual EP productivity and, assuming the EPs case selection is similar, can be used to compare group activity. Using a simple mathematical model, an averaged calculation can be made of the number of patients needed to be seen by each treating clinician during a standard shift.
