Assessing emergency department physician workload: A NASA-TLX analysis by experience and care type

Key Points

• The aim is to assess how perceived workload differs among emergency department physicians based on task type, experience, and patient acuity.
• Utilized NASA-TLX (Task Load Index) to evaluate workload perceptions
• Analyzed differences by task type and physician experience level
• Considered patient acuity in workload assessment
• Workload perception significantly varies by task type
• Experience level influences physician workload perception
• Higher patient acuity correlates with increased perceived workload
