Benchmarking Strategies and Challenges for Anesthesia Practices

Review Your Anesthesia Practice Benchmarks Using Acceptable National Standards

Often practices put off benchmarking because it can seem to be a complex or expensive process. During this session, coding expert Kelly Dennis will discuss how your practice can easily review your anesthesia benchmarks and explain which important factors need to be reviewed for your anesthesia practice.

You will be able to understand the basics of benchmarking and how to break down and understand the information listed on monthly reports, specifically for anesthesia. You will be able to review your own practice’s benchmarks as compared to other anesthesia practices using nationally acceptable standards that are followed by hospitals.
