New York, NY, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new anesthesia practice is now serving New York City and surrounding areas---Greater New York Anesthesia Services, P.C. (GNYAS). GNYAS is supported by a new organization formed by Mount Sinai and U.S. Anesthesia Partners, Inc. (USAP) to provide business services for the new practice.
GNYAS will serve Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and select Mount Sinai hospitals in conjunction with the Mount Sinai Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. GNYAS is providing care at the Peakpoint Midtown West and Peakpoint Flatiron ASCs, as well as New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. Expansion plans will include other health care sites and the hiring of additional clinicians over the coming months.
“This new anesthesia practice alliance will benefit the local community we serve by increasing patient access to high-quality, physician-led anesthesia care and by offering sustainable anesthesia services solutions for hospitals, surgery centers, and private practices,” said Dr. Jonathan Gal, Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and President of GNYAS.
In providing a turn-key management services solution, this partnership brings together the best of academic excellence and national private practice business expertise. This combination will enable GNYAS’s local clinicians and the facilities they support to focus on what matters most, excellence in patient care.
“Like healthcare in general, the specialty of anesthesiology has become tremendously more complex, with outside forces that are unpredictable,” said USAP anesthesiologist Dr. Kurt Jones. “GNYAS and the new business services team help remove some of that complexity by optimizing recruiting, revenue cycle and other clinical and business operations --- allowing clinicians to spend time providing compassionate, high-caliber care and fostering great patient outcomes.”
The Mount Sinai/USAP alliance provides advantages in two key areas:
- Facility and Practice Support—running a health care facility or private practice is complex, but with GNYAS and its business support organization, administrators have a partner that simplifies administrative, technical, regulatory, and operational burdens, making it easier to concentrate on patient care.
- Data and Quality Analytics—the support GNYAS receives will allow the practice to use evidence-based protocols, benchmarking systems and continuous process improvement to remain at the forefront of high-quality care and supporting overall perioperative efficiency.
