Outsourcing: Playing the Long Game

As healthcare organizations transition to value-based care, become clinically integrated, and drive new patient experience strategies, they are seeking strategic collaborations in anesthesia, hospital medicine, and emergency medicine.

Hospitals that partner in all three specialties are making key enhancements in the operating room, including faster room turnover and better perioperative care.
