NEW ROCHELLE, NY, March 1, 2010 – Somnia Anesthesia Services, the only physician-owned and managed anesthesia management company servicing healthcare facilities nationwide, proudly presents its second educational Webinar, Improving Operating Room and Anesthesia Efficiency for Your Hospital. The event, which will be held on March 23 at 2:15 p.m. EST., offers advice on how hospital management can improve operating room and anesthesia management by maximizing the operational efficiency of a facility.

The Webinar will cover opportunities to improve hospitals’ bottom lines through better resource management, while maintaining high standards of patient care. Speakers include Debra Shumelda, director of perioperative services at St. Mary’s Hospital in Troy, New York, and executive vice president and chief medical officer of Somnia Anesthesia, Robert Goldstein, M.D. The specialists will discuss opportunities to improve your hospital’s bottom line, through better resource management, while maintaining high standards of patient care.

Topics and questions covered will include:

- How can your Anesthesia Department optimize coverage and service given limited financial resources?
- How can your operating room produce rapid turnover, low cancellation rate and on-time starts while keeping patients happy and safe?
- What type of staffing model can optimize the best coverage for your operating room?
- The importance and impact of surgical, anesthesia and nursing interdisciplinary and collaborative quality assurance plans to achieve the desired perioperative clinical outcomes.

“Hospital operating rooms are important resources for patient care and revenue. If their use is not maximized, the hospital will suffer financially, which could lead to frustration from shareholders, surgeons, anesthesiologists and staff,” stated Robert Goldstein, M.D, executive vice president and chief medical officer of Somnia Anesthesia. “Incremental improvements in operating room utilization and efficiency can positively affect hospital staff and finances, resulting in a maximum number of daily surgical cases, while minimizing the required resources and related costs.”
