Operational Improvement

According to an ASA study, 47% of hospitals reduced Operating Room hours or redirected procedures due to anesthesia staffing problems.

Somnia eliminates these operational inefficiencies by delivering an efficient staffing model comprised of local providers, improving OR protocols and practices, and expertly handling every management detail seamlessly, including recruiting, revenue cycle management, payor contracting and quality assurance.

Our process begins by first conducting a thorough “Needs Assessment” to identify specific opportunities for improvement and develop an "Implementation Plan". We are committed to balancing regional and cultural issues, financial and operational goals when conducting our needs assessment. Somnia’s executive team collaborates with hospital administration during a one-to-three-day on-site visit to develop a customized “Needs Assessment Plan”. The foundation for a positive, productive and long-term relationship is established during this pre-inception consultative visit and through collaborative discussions with key stakeholders. Once a final “Needs Assessment Plan” is completed and approved, a staffing model is then finalized and clinical and administrative leadership is recruited.

Our founding philosophy of obtaining patient, surgeon, nursing and administrative feedback is critically important in improving both clinical and operational efficiencies of the services we provide. Our success stems from our vast administrative and management infrastructure. We have in-house expertise in all areas of management and do not outsource any functions. 

Our internal infrastructure includes:

• Recruiting
• Credentialing
• Contracting
• Scheduling

• Quality Management
• Project Management

• Logistics/Anesthesia Tech Department 

Our specialized experience, proven team strategy, and comprehensive protocols and practices combine to achieve 100% satisfaction among clients, surgeons, and patients with 100% accountability and department success.
