An electronic emergency department information system (EDIS) can monitor the progress of a patient visit, facilitate computerized physician order entry, display test results and generate an electronic medical record. Ideally, use of an EDIS will increase overall emergency department (ED) efficiency. However, in academic settings where new interns rotate through the ED monthly, the "learning curve" experienced by the new EDIS user may slow down patient care. In this study, we measured the impact of the "intern learning curve" on patient length of stay (LOS).
