Delivery of Anesthesia in America’s Hospitals: Understanding the Anesthesia Subsidy
Most hospitals recognize the need to subsidize anesthesia. However, as leaders focus on controlling the subsidy, they can often exacerbate their institution’s overall financial problems.
This white paper explores the history of the subsidy and issues germane to hospitals struggling to control them. While market conditions may not drive subsidies down, or cause them to disappear entirely, understanding their etiology may provide facilities a lens through which to view them and offer perspective.
The reference tool is especially valuable for those concerned with the financial aspects of the OR and anesthesia’s role in affecting and optimizing the OR. Learn about best practices that include clinical and administrative protocols that help to manage overall costs, maximize revenue and minimize subsidy.
