Anesthesia Subsidy Reduction

Understand the key drivers of anesthesia subsidies

HPS will individually assess the four key components of anesthesia subsidies. Data driven analysis of each component will identify opportunities for improvement. Interviews with key stakeholders are a fundamental component of the initial assessment.

Assess staffing and productivity benchmarks

Experienced anesthesiologists will apply real world experience to the complexities of developing an acceptable staffing model. Numerous data points will be considered including call requirements, subspecialty needs, productivity metrics, and physician extender utilization. Significant increases in compensation for anesthesia providers over the past decade reinforce the importance of an expert review of staffing.

Develop a customized framework to reduce your anesthesia subsidy

Based on the information generated, a prioritized approach will be developed and customized to meet the strategic goals of your facility. The unique local market environment and specialty requirements of each situation will impact specific recommendations.
