Webinar Title: How to Protect Your Hospital from the Anesthesia Shortage

Webinar Overview:

The national shortage of anesthesiologists is forcing many hospitals to limit profitable OR services. And increasingly, anesthesia groups are requesting subsidies in exchange for OR coverage. This session will take apart the underlying dynamics of anesthesia to show that subsidies are not the only alternative. The key to ensuring coverage is finding organic ways to increase the revenue potential or OR presents for anesthesiologists. Improving perioperative efficiency and processes can make your surgical services organization an “OR of choice” for anesthesia providers.

Webinar Objectives:

Participants will learn:

• Alternatives so anesthesia subsidy/support
• How OR improvements can reduce subsidies
• How OR improvements can increase hospital bottom line

Target Audience:  Senior management, directors, and board of trustees.
