Dates of coverage:
July 28 to Aug 1
Aug 11 to Aug 15
Sept 1 to Sept 5
November 24 week
Dec 22 to Jan 2
Details:
Growing hospital cardiac surgery program
Trauma Level II
Practice Setting: Hospital based. On rare occasions may need to oversee CRNAs at the ASC if no cardiac cases are scheduled and a physician is needed at the ASC location.
Documentation System/EMR: Cerner - moving to EPIC some paper
Average Number of Surgical Cases Per Day: Cardiac surgeries 1/day but not every day; 5-7 general cases/day. Must help cover general if no cardiac cases.
Number of Anesthesiologists in Practice: 6
Patient Age Demographic: Adolescent Child Adult Geriatric. Very sick children are sent to other hospitals better staffed/equipped for children.
Number of Operating Rooms: 8 in use at one time
Cannot accept visa candidates
Estimated Credentialing Timeframe: 8 - 12 weeks
Questions answered by facility:
Can you speak to the staffing model/supervision/direction/solo cases etc The group practice is predominantly solo cases but they do have CRNA students rotating through so the cardiac anesthesiologist needs to be okay with students in the operating room with him/her. If there is any supervision/direction the partners will oversee that. If there are no cardiac surgeries scheduled the locum would be expected to take on general cases until the next scheduled heart case.
Can you confirm how many pump cases/open heart cases are performed per year The program has had hiccups the last 4-5 years with providers coming and going and trying to fill-in with locums. The hospital signed late last fall a cardiac surgeon to a 5 year contract so there is hope the program will now stabilize. They are projecting 90 hearts this year.
