I recently saw a job posting for an MD “director” position at a small community hospital that has only had CRNAs in the past. It’s in an opt out state with pretty dismal reimbursement. The offer isn’t great but it isn’t horrible. I am trying to figure a couple things out about this ad. First, why would a hospital with no history of having an anesthesiologist start employing one? Second, if it’s an opt out “independent practice environment” why would the CRNAs suddenly want someone as their “director”?
Only thing I can think of is perhaps the hospital and/or surgeons have had enough of the independent practice CRNAs. Perhaps there have been some high profile bad outcomes and the hospital malpractice insurer is mandating this.
Anyone have any other ideas?
