Value Proposition and Anesthesiology

Abstract

Health care in general and anesthesia in particular have seen dramatic changes in the economic landscape. It is vital if anesthesia groups wish to survive and prosper in this new environment to understand the changes occurring in health care and be flexible and proactive in taking on these challenges. More than ever anesthesia groups must be good corporate citizens and seek ways in which to enhance their value to the organization, whether in the operating room or out of operating room locations, and be a proactive partner with the hospital.
