Strategies to Reduce Anesthesia Costs and Improve Coverage

In our recent webinar we discussed how anesthesiology is a medical specialty in crisis. Simply put, the current number of Anesthesiologists, CRNAs and AAs and the numbers coming out of training will not be enough to accommodate both current and future demands. Providers who are available and working now are often under contract by third-party firms, owned by private equity or venture capital firms, who view them as a means to provide a return on investment. These firms have little to no incentive to solve the current problem as they are able to use the supply / demand imbalance to increase the fees they are charging. Facilities now, more than ever, are looking for alternative solutions to overcome the challenges of having enough anesthesia providers to run their operating rooms.

In this webinar on demand participants will learn:

• The challenges of hiring anesthesiologists directly
• What it looks like to weigh the costs for anesthesiology
• The changing face of anesthesia care
