Anesthesia Quality?
@EMARIANOMD
Emphasis on Patient Experience
• Patients are surveyed using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)1
• 32 questions• Publicly reported 4 times a year2
• HCAHPS is administered to a random sample of adult inpatients between 48 hours and six weeks after discharge

If Anesthesiologists Are Anonymous
Anesthesia is Just a Commodity
@EMARIANOMD
Evolution of Anesthesia Practice
• Traditional private practice models are changing– Horizontal integration: merging of small and large
groups to form mega-groups; some are funded by private equity or venture capital
– Vertical integration: acquisition of smaller practices into larger groups (ie, ACOs)
• California law prohibits the corporate practice of medicine (physician employees) except VA
