Keeping ORs Open Viable Amid an Anesthesia Provider Shortage – Webinar
11am CT (10am AZ)
The national shortage of anesthesia providers is forcing hospitals and ASCs to reduce OR capacity and delaying surgery. Patients and surgeons are upset about postponed surgery and hospitals are seeing a decline in OR volume and profitability.

Key learning points:
- What is causing the shortage of anesthesia providers
- The most effective strategies for recruiting and retaining anesthesia providers
- How healthcare leaders can best support their existing anesthesia group
- The advantages and risks of transitioning to an employed anesthesia model
