MELVILLE, N.Y., Aug. 22, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), the largest single specialty anesthesia management company in the United States, is proud to announce its educational HFMA sponsored webinar, "Aligning Perioperative Care with Hospital Priorities in the Age of Health Care Reform." The event, which will be held on September 13, at 2:00pm CST, provides a better understanding on the broader implications an anesthesia practice, as the hospital's perioperative leader, can have on your hospital's quantitative and qualitative results in order to fulfill today's healthcare mandates.
This session will outline anesthesia's impact on a hospital's revenue, cost, and market perception given Medicare reimbursement policies, quality reporting requirements, and incentive programs authorized through the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act. Additionally, this webinar will address those metrics your anesthesia group should monitor to improve results and demonstrate value, anesthesia's role as it relates to outcome metrics, which affect hospital reimbursement, and how the metrics apply to an Accountable Care Organization.
