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.

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.
