FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1.
Transplant productivity by program size. A, Monthly waitlist additions, evaluations, and referrals stratified by program size. B, Outpatient clinic weekly volumes, bronchoscopy weekly volumes, and inpatient daily census, stratified by program size. For all panels, values are median with interquartile range. n = 11 small, 13 medium, and 15 large programs. Comparisons between program sizes were performed using Kruskal-Wallis testing or Mann-Whitney U testing. txp, transplant.

FIGURE 2.
Staffing by transplant program size. A, Provider staffing stratified by program size. Number of full-time equivalents for select staffing roles is depicted using box and whisker plots showing median (horizontal bar), interquartile range (box), and SD (whiskers). B, Workload per full-time equivalent staff members, stratified by program size. Workload for staff members is shown relative to annual transplant volume per program. Only statistically significant results are shown. For all panels, values are median with interquartile range. n = 11 small, 13 medium, and 15 large programs. Comparisons between program sizes were performed using Kruskal-Wallis testing or Mann-Whitney U testing. FTE, full time equivalents; txp, transplant.
