Anesthesia
Flexible models for right level of coverage, care
We‘re physician anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists who value each other’s expertise and work at the top of our licenses to enhance the overall perioperative experience — for you, your surgeons, and our patients.
We partner with you to:
- Fill your program with clinicians who embrace our progressive team model and understand the value of balanced coverage for better support.
- Expand access to perioperative care in your community, with improved protocols and by fostering trust and confidence with surgeons.
- Build a strong local team that has access to our broad network of perioperative resources and support.
We find success in aligning our teams to your community’s unique needs to ensure your programs are staffed with the right team and right skill set to ensure patients have better access to — and the right level of — care. Our priority is patient comfort and safety, with a commitment to relieving pain, improving recovery, and being good stewards of healthcare dollars.
Why we’re better — for your patients, and as your partner
-
Progressive practice models
-
Our well-calibrated progressive team model allows us to be nimble when responding to the vulnerabilities of day-to-day demand and bring to bear the full complement of our skills when facing complex cases. Collectively, we embrace a common pathway for treating patients while also recognizing the need for autonomy and flexibility to practice in ways that benefit the communities we serve.
-
Local leadership with broad support
-
Our philosophy is to create a hyper-local practice that works for your hospital or health system, with the ability to tap into national support when you need it. With anesthesia practices coast to coast, we’re always learning something new or bringing a better solution to the table that has broad application for helping more patients. Our local anesthesia leaders are deeply invested in the communities they serve, and they work to create a team that understands the best way to meet their unique needs.
-
Clinical excellence
-
We’re strong proponents of regional anesthesia over narcotics and understand the potential effects on a patient, both within the hospital and once they leave. We strive to use regional blocks in more than 60 percent of surgeries before the patient enters the operating room, as we see how this improves our patients’ experience. And we practice what we preach: No overbooking, no lean teams, and always alignment with our partners on our perioperative philosophy of care.
-
Process and performance
-
Our high standards are evident in our commitment to patient safety and consistency — we develop and follow core clinical processes and protocols that help reduce variation and ultimately help our patients mobilize more quickly, reduce their pain, and discharge sooner.
-
Staffing and strategic partnership
-
Serving the local community and creating access to care is what drives our desire to partner with you to build the right anesthesia model for your patients’ needs. And while patients are our most important constituent, we work early and often to understand the pain points and points of pride of your surgeons, without whose partnership — and satisfaction — we can’t be successful. We build in twice-daily huddles with your operating room director and staff to make sure we’re in lockstep for the day ahead, including pre-operative discussions about each patient’s anesthesia plan. And we ask all our patients to rate their satisfaction with our care, so we can continue to replicate proven protocols or look for ways to innovate and improve.
