Most anesthesia providers believe they don't have much control over operating room management, but they can actually have a significant influence on operations, according to Anesthesia Business Consultants President and CEO Tony Mira.
Mr. Mira shared three reasons anesthesia providers have influence:
1. Anesthesia generates more useful, accessible data about ORs and delivery suites than other departments.
2. Anesthesia providers play a pivotal role in ensuring a safe, comfortable surgical and obstetric experience.
3. Anesthesia providers have a keen eye for operational inefficiencies and potential solutions.
