1. Anesthesia. Hospitals can avoid paying subsidies for anesthesia services by working with anesthesia providers to align incentives and create efficiencies in the operating room that will drive savings, according to Howard Greenfield, MD, and Robert Stiefel, MD, principals of Enhance Healthcare.
2. Hospital medicine. Hospitals can avoid the need to pay subsidies to hospitalists by changing the current staffing model, under which hospitalists work for seven days and are off the subsequent seven, to a traditional model, according to R. Jeffrey Taylor, president and COO of IPC The Hospitalist Company.
3. Radiology. Hospitals can avoid the need for radiology subsidies by partnering with a large group of on-site and remote radiologists who can share high case loads, according to Scott Seidelmann, president and CEO of Radisphere.
