Outsourcing Anesthesiologists

Personnel outsourcing has become a vital component to the workflow in many healthcare facilities, and it can be a viable solution for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) looking to add a dedicated team of anesthesiologists. A successful partnership with an outsourcing company can help recruit a qualified workforce, reduce procedure turn-around time and save money on everyday tasks. Anesthesia Healthcare Partners (AHP) offers a turn-key approach to providing a quality anesthesiologist or anesthesia team by handling credential-related issues and other human resources tasks, leaving more time for patient-care activities.

View the financial savings that could be derived from outsourcing from a clinical perspective. The faster and more efficient your team operates, the more surgeries you will be able to schedule, which in turn means increased profits. All factors, including patient throughput, pre-op and post-op protocol and time management skills for administrative tasks should be examined to have a clear picture of how your ASC functions. Examine all areas in which time savings can be executed while maintaining a high degree of patient safety, and you will most likely identify areas in which your ASC can improve — ultimately keeping more money in your pocket.

As Andre Dobson, MD, corporate medical director of AHP, states, “Minimizing the turnaround time at our partners’ facilities helps to both eliminate overtime costs for their staff along with decreasing moment-to-moment expenses for materials and drugs.”

AHP’s extensive background in outpatient surgery allows the company to create a business model specific to ASCs’ unique needs.
