The American Medical Group Association (AMGA) and ECG Management Consultants, Inc. announced the release of the 2010 Emergency Department Call Coverage Survey. Recognizing the increasing disparity between physicians and hospitals regarding the burden of emergency department call coverage and corresponding compensation, AMGA and ECG developed this survey to obtain physician perspectives and data regarding call coverage through a series of qualitative and quantitative questions related to call burden, payment rates, and specific strategies for reducing the call burden.
