If nocturnist APP is on duty with the two docs, APP will cover all floor calls and assist with consults/admissions as needed. Physicians will be primarily responsible for consults/admissions and ICU/CCU coverage.

Average number of admissions per night? varies - anywhere from 6-14

Average number of discharges? at night, minimal to zero. Noct APP starts at 3pm and will assist days with end-of-day discharges. Noct physicians rarely do a discharge from the floor.
