Syed Ishaq, Somnia Anesthesia's vice president of client development, discusses the importance of the anesthesia request for proposal process and factors to consider when reviewing proposals in a new video recording hosted here.
The recording comes a few weeks after Somnia announced the publishing of new resource material — titled "A Hospital's Guide for Exploring Anesthesia Options" — for hospitals that describes best practices for the anesthesia RFP process.
The publication provides key steps in each phase of the RFP process, from determining the facility's need to change anesthesia providers through developing a transition plan for the new anesthesia group. The document also identifies key stakeholders to include on the selection committee, timing considerations, sample RFP questions, guidance on how to evaluate proposals and tips for managing the transition to a new anesthesia group.
