Hospital-Based Anesthesia Management Solutions

With our full-service anesthesia management solution, developed specifically and customized for each hospital's unique anesthesiology department, AHP can typically reduce an existing anesthesia subsidy (we have reduced 100% of partner's existing subsidies), improve the capabilities of the on-site anesthesia leadership by minimizing the "busy business work" associated with the daily operations of a practice and add any necessary quality tracking capabilities that many non-managed anesthesia groups simply do not have the time or resources to implement.

This type of anesthesia solution allows for an opportunity to help improve surgeon satisfaction, improve the main OR/procedure room's productivity and efficiency -- all while maintaining a culture that translates into a happier OR staff, happier anesthesia team members, happier administrators and ultimately happier patients

Ambulatory Anesthesia and Propofol Sedation Management

With our full-service ambulatory anesthesia management solution; we take an "invited guest" approach to partnering with the facility served who is looking to benefit from a dedicated clinical team who has the quality tracking and reporting, in-network contracts, reliable room coverage, efficiency standards, focus on collaboration and the policies in place to ensure compliance at every level.

 

Also, when you enlist AHP as your anesthesia management partner, you no longer need to worry about late starts due to coverage, finding the traditional last-minute "vacation" coverage, AAAHC compliance, policy and procedure manual updates, quality assurance, peer review, recruitment, billing, collection, payor enrollment or credentialing packets.

Management-Only Partnership

This solution is increasing in popularity for hospitals moving toward the popular "employee model" due to accountable care organization (ACO) strategies. This model is also very appealing to anesthesia practice owners looking to reduce the administrative headaches associated with the compliance, research, strategy, planning and execution of the day-to-day operations -- AHP would provide all of the anesthesia services including billing, recruitment, credentialing, payor contracting, meeting attendance, quality tracking and expense tracking without your administration having to add an extra leadership headcount. Highlights include:

  • Seasoned management of implementation
  • Payor negotiation expertise
  • Focus on anesthesia billing and collections
  • 80 facilities of experience under our belt
  • Short 2 or 3 year contracts

Practice Conversion Partnership

This model is for hospitals or practice owners who would like to eventually move to an employee model (with or without AHP as your ongoing management partner -- although we hope and believe you will continue with AHP for the long-term); however, not yet ready for the conversion. Your practice would enjoy all the benefits of a traditional contracted relationship with a smooth transition planned for a set date. To evaluate this option -- the first step is to complete the appropriate survey and have our finance and operation's team provide you with a formal financial & implementation plan. Highlights include:

  • AHP sets up all the department policies and procedures
  • Recruits the best team
  • Establishes the department's best pratices
  • Creates a conversion plan minimizing any impact to the daily operations of your operating/procedure rooms
