Enabling Growth in Nonoperating Room Anesthesia Procedures Amid Workforce Shortages
Optimizing procedural selection and operations to enhance patient safety and quality outcomes
Driven by advances in surgical technology, innovations in complex invasive procedures, payer incentives to shift cases to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), and an aging population with increasing comorbidity burden, nonoperating room anesthesia (NORA) cases are expected to account for more than 50% of all anesthesia cases in the next decade. Anesthesiologists are taking a lead role in working with surgeons, proceduralists and hospital executives to create a care redesign process for the increase in NORA services across sites and maintain high-quality outcomes based on the hospital’s strategic priorities and resources. This Knowledge Exchange explores strategies to address considerations in patient selection and the perioperative process to improve efficiency and safety.
