Fig 1 Cases ranked by total rounding duration (minutes). Both presentation time (diamonds) and discussion time (boxes) were correlated with the total rounding time (triangles [Pearson r = 0.56 and 0.98, respectively, p < 0.01]). Discussion times varied more than presentation time (p < 0.005). The salary cost per patient rounded correlated with the total duration of rounds (Pearson r = 0.97, p < 0.01).
