Here are three health systems that have lost or cut ties with their anesthesia providers this year:
1. Des Moines, Iowa-based MercyOne Medical Center ended its partnership with anesthesia services provider, Medical Center Anesthesiologists. “Following extensive discussions with Medical Center Anesthesiologists, it has become necessary to transition to a new partner for anesthesia services in Des Moines,” a MercyOne spokesperson told WHO 13.
2. Dayton, Ohio-based Miami Valley Hospital’s contracted anesthesia group plans to cease operations in June.
3. Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Broward Health ended its long-term relationship with contracted anesthesia group Anesco, alleging breach of contract.
