Case Study: Creating an Anesthesia Staffing Model to Handle Increased ASC Case Volume

A multi-specialty surgery center had outgrown its currently location was relocating to a new facility capable of handling double the ASC's current case load. In order to prepare for an increase in procedures, the ASC had to ensure that they could competently meet the demands this growth would have on anesthesia services.

Somnia Anesthesia Services was brought in to oversee this transition. Immediately, an anesthesia team was placed in the old facility to become familiar with the ASC's surgeons and their practices. Creating an efficient staffing model to facilitate the center's expansion from five rooms to 11 was also necessary to ensure patient and surgeon.

By creating this model, the center was able to double its procedures to 11,400 annually.
