The physician staff at TVRH is not employed by TVRH. They work for the Phoenix Medical group. Staffing will be appropriate to the patient level that flows through. It's not all about how many rooms in the ED. It's also about where to house the patients while waiting for a room elsewhere if they are made inpatient or being observed as an observation patient.
