In this fifth video of our educational series, Howard Greenfield, M.D. discusses how hospitals and health systems should approach anesthesia employment strategy. Choosing the right staffing model is about much more than filling vacancies. Whether partnering with an independent private practice, employing physicians directly, or contracting with a national management company, each model carries important implications for recruitment, retention, provider engagement, financial sustainability, governance, and long-term operational success.
As recruitment challenges continue to impact organizations nationwide, it is critical to evaluate employment strategy through both an operational and strategic lens. The right model should align with your organization’s clinical needs, culture, and long-term vision—not just today’s staffing shortages.
A thoughtful, data-driven approach helps ensure the right coverage model, supports provider satisfaction, improves operating room efficiency, and creates a sustainable partnership for the future.
