I have been wondering if this was at all worth devoting time to:
I am in a group that is salaried (not production-based). Is it worth continuing to keep up with some sort of case log in my career? Like, god forbid I need to change jobs or even just within my own current job is there any utility in keeping up with numbers of different peds cases, cardiac cases, central lines, a-lines, blocks, etc?

I know TEE numbers is definitely important if you are maintaining certification but anything else?

No
 
Even if you are salaried that data is probably being collected by someone. They need to know if they are making money or losing money.

Other than TEE as you said, no
 
What about for the pain guys--is there any type of log that needs to be done to continue your board certification?
