The evolution of a chest wall injury and reconstruction clinic during a pandemic
CONCLUSION
The initiation of a CWIRC increased wRVU production despite a decrease in clinical encounters. These clinics may produce more wRVUs per encounter than ACS/GS clinics. An underserved population has been identified of chest wall pathology patients presenting for initial evaluation as outpatients. Further investigation into this concept is warranted to serve this population.
