What is an appropriate subsidy for and productivity of an anesthesiology department?
Articles in the bibliography show that typical annual values are 8,200 to 12,100 ASA units per OR. The range is wide, because productivity depends on CRNA:MD concurrency, number of anesthetizing locations covered, typical durations of the OR workday, how OR time is allocated, how cases are scheduled, how anesthesia providers are scheduled, how cases are assigned, and so forth. Appropriate productivity and a subsidy can be calculated using OR information system, anesthesia information system, and/or anesthesia billing data.
