Let's Pull the Curtain Back: What the Heck is Going on With the Business of Anesthesia? (1 Class A CE)

There is more confusion and uncertainty in the anesthesia business world than ever. Let's pull the curtain back and talk about what is really going on and why. Virtually overnight the foundation of competitive advantage for anesthesia firms has been turned upside down by reimbursement headwinds, a stubborn and persistent supply/demand imbalance of anesthesia clinicians, and poor financial performance of hospitals and health systems. These conditions are pressurizing our clinical and business environment, and therefore, resulting in seismic shifts in anesthesia models and the rapid deterioration of financial performance of anesthesia groups large and small. During this session, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Anesthetist Officer of on the largest anesthesia management companies in the country will share their perspectives and insights into these market conditions and make predictions relative to the future state of the anesthesia business and practice model landscape of the future. More importantly, they will identify the risks and opportunities these conditions will create for the practice of nurse anesthesiology.
