Additional Services

Besides providing excellent clinical services, Synergy Anesthesia provides an array of other valuable services. We consider ourselves more than just anesthesiologists. As peri-operative consultants, we can help in all aspects of patient care and facility operations. From the time a case is booked until well after the patient is discharged home, Synergy Anesthesia is involved in patient care. We also are experts in all relevant non-clinical activities. Please click on the menu above for more details regarding some of the areas in which can help.

Workflow Optimization

Workflow is one area in which ASCs, offices, and hospitals are often inefficient. This results in higher costs as well as patient and staff dissatisfaction. Synergy Anesthesia can assist you in all aspects of workflow optimization including facility design, scheduling of cases, patient flow, and ancillary services. We have helped all types of organizations improve workflow throughout all stages of development. Whether helping with the architectural design of a yet to be built center or reassessing the flow of a well-established office, Synergy Anesthesia can help.

Accreditation Consultation

Becoming an accredited ASC or office can be difficult, lengthy, and time-consuming process. New regulations will make it mandatory for offices and ASCs in most states to become accredited by a CME recognized body such as AAAHC and AAAASF. Synergy Anesthesia has experience in all aspects of the accreditation process. We can help you throughout the entire process to make it as easy and fast as possible. From helping you decide which of the major bodies to seek accreditation from to actual implementation of the processes needed to achieve the accreditation, Synergy Anesthesia can help. We have assisted numerous facilities become accredited, including offices converted to accredited ASCs. Besides understanding the health care climate and knowing what accredited bodies may be better for a given situation, Synergy Anesthesia has also helped facilities in the design phase and during major architectural upgrades.

Accreditation by a regulatory body requires the formulation and implementation of a detailed Policies and Procedures manual. Besides being responsible for the Anesthesia portion of the Policies and Procedures manual, Synergy Anesthesia, also routinely reviews and edits each facility’s Policies and Procedures to guarantee adherence to all regulations and ensure that any new regulations are adequately addressed.

Management Solutions

Synergy Anesthesia understands how complicated and difficult running your facility can be. That’s why we offer more than just clinical anesthesia services. We have worked closely with a variety of management companies to help provide facilities with a turn-key solution for its management needs. We understand the complex problems that every facility has. We have experience in managing billing, workflow, human resources, and regulatory adherence, to name just a few. By utilizing our expertise in conjunction with that of a management company, we can help ensure your facility is running as efficiency as possible. We can work with a management company that you prefer or are currently working with, or we can recommend one of the companies we maintain relationships with for your specific situation.

Didactics

A necessary part of any facility is ensuring the staff and physicians are well trained and up to date on all clinical and administrative issues. Synergy Anesthesia routinely provides all types of training and didactic events for our facilities. This includes lectures to the staff on general clinical topics such as pre-operative workup, intra-operative emergencies, post-operative care, and more specific topics such as care of the pediatric patient, malignant hyperthermia, airway management, and infection control. We also routinely conduct mock codes and assist in ACLS, BLS, and PALS training. In addition, Synergy Anesthesia conducts lectures on administrative and regulatory topics such as adherence to HIPAA guidelines and the development of new policies and procedures.

Pain Management

Pain services is an increasingly important part of anesthesia care. All Synergy Anesthesia anesthesiologists are trained experts in managing pain peri-operatively. We also employ board-certified pain physicians who are available for further consultation. In addition, Anesthesia has been able to place many of these pain physicians in various facilities in which we work.

Mobile Anesthesia Services

Synergy Anesthesia is able to supply offices with any and all of the anesthesia supplies and equipment required. This includes medications, IV supplies, airway equipment, monitors, and emergency supplies. In addition, Synergy Anesthesia has the capability to provide safe and efficient general anesthesia (including providing all supplies and equipment) that is completely adherent to all regulatory bodies, such as AAAHC and AAAASF. We have the ability to be completely mobile so that a room which is used primarily for other purposes can be safely and easily converted into a temporary procedure room for surgical procedures. For something more permanent, Synergy Anesthesia can help set up a more definitive procedure room adherent to all regulatory guidelines.
