Somnia Anesthesia is proud to announce an ambitious Webinar Series designed to provide ongoing best practices information to reduce anesthesia expenses while improving anesthesia revenue and quality.
“Demystifying the Anesthesia Stipend: Achieving More Coverage and Better Quality for Less Cost.”
“Each day we collaborate with the best and brightest in the business to improve quality and reduce expenses,” says Marc E. Koch, MD, MBA and co-founder of Somnia. “This Webinar series give us a chance to share the valuable insights of our management team, our clinicians and our clients.”
Eight Webinars are scheduled in the coming year, the first of which is currently available free of charge at www.somniainc.com and titled “Demystifying the Anesthesia Stipend: Achieving More Coverage and Better Quality for Less Cost.”
Presenters include Dr. Koch who shares case studies on implementing cost-efficient staffing models, reducing administrative costs, improving payor rates and exploring additional anesthesia revenue streams. He is joined by Dr. Larry Schecter, MD, CMO of Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington, who shares the wisdom he recently acquired when forced to replace his incumbent anesthesia group within 90 days -- including the task of hiring 30 clinicians in 30 days.
The catalyst for this series of interactive Webinars is a recent ASA study showing 47 percent of administrators are reducing or redirecting operating room procedures due to anesthesia staffing issues.
