Anesthesiology Workforce Strategy:
Compensation, Utilization
and Coverage Optimization
Anesthesiology services are at the center of today’s health care workforce challenges.
Ongoing staffing shortages, evolving care delivery models and increasing pressure on compensation are driving health care organizations to take a more strategic approach to how anesthesia providers—including physicians, CRNAs, and CAAs—are compensated, deployed and retained.
Addressing these challenges requires more than monitoring market trends. Leading organizations are aligning coverage models, anesthesiology care team design and anesthesiology compensation with broader goals related to access, financial performance and quality outcomes.

Paired with deep operational and strategic anesthesiology experience, we deliver practical guidance on care team design, coverage and performance. Our national survey data provides robust insights into pay, incentives and productivity—supporting informed decision-making.
