Four influence-boosting strategies for anesthesia groups:
1. Provide input on how to best manage staffing, scheduling and costs as a participant in the facility’s surgical services committee.
2. Designate a group representative to participate in daily huddles regarding the surgery schedule with the operating room director and surgeons.
3. Help build performance improvement initiatives that facilitate patient satisfaction, outcomes and early discharge, thereby making the group an irreplaceable asset to the organization.
4. Keep administration updated about staffing challenges and constraints, as well as ongoing plans to recruit and retain qualified professionals.
