Subsample used for each model is indicated above. All models are adjusted for time of visit, location, age, sex, caseload, ICD9 codes, case complexity, insurance codes, zip codes of primary care physicians, attending physician, acuity, procedures, and admission status. The units of the estimated effects are in minutes. Standard errors, clustered at the day‐site level, are in parentheses. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001. 95% CIs are in brackets.
