The Many Benefits of Outsourcing Anesthesia Services to MAC
MAC knows that the volume and the complexity of surgical cases that occur in a hospital or surgery center are a key driver of that facility’s financial health and profitability. Operating rooms are the single largest source of revenue for most hospitals and moving surgical patients in and out of the operating room in a safe and timely manner leads to more efficient use of the OR, enhanced profitability and increased surgeon satisfaction.
With its interests aligned with both its clinical sites and physicians, MAC excels at creating long-term strategic relationships resulting in superior healthcare and financial performance for the hospital, ambulatory surgery center or physician office.
