At NorthStar, we work toward long-term excellence in everything we do. To get there, we attract top talent with our whole-team leadership approach, and drive measurable quality enhancements and practice-changing protocols in clinical care. The result? Better patient outcomes and a measurable impact on your operations and the revenue cycle, too.
Backed by a long-term holding company, we are focused on growth through practice excellence—starting with our people. We invest in our clinicians’ career paths for staffing stability, and maintain agile staffing models that flex according to volume.
With the right people, we put the right care into your practice. We implement standardized, evidence-based protocols, developed with our Office of Clinical Quality, to enhance quality outcomes and satisfaction across the perioperative continuum—for your patients and surgeons.
Transparency is key to our approach. We use rigorous monthly and quarterly reporting to identify areas ripe for optimization, from OR utilization and case volume to anesthesia hours and patient revenue, leading to better insights—and performance.
In our triad model, CRNAs, anesthesiologists, and operations teams collaborate in decision-making at the local, regional, and national level. From daily OR board management to ongoing review and assessment of perioperative KPIs, the Triad supports optimal clinical care and business performance at your facility with decisions made peer-to-peer, at all levels.
Here, clinicians can progress as leaders, with a clinical leadership structure that offers multiple career path possibilities. We attract top talent with a leadership program that gives clinicians a strong foundation of leadership skills.
We take a data-first approach to help you optimize your financial performance. Our proprietary analytics and advanced reporting enables transparency in charge capture, account resolution, and payment integrity—delivering a 96% net collection rate for anesthesia services.
With patients at the center of our approach, and with deep payer relationship driving value, we stay focused on the anesthesia billing environment while evolving to help you meet regulatory requirements.
Unlike a growing number of anesthesia groups, we are not funded by private equity investors. Rather, we are a leading, national anesthesia practice company, founded by an anesthesiologist and a CRNA more than 10 years ago. Supported by a long-term holding company, we are positioned to prioritize strategic, long-term investments across our business rather than short-term shareholder gains.
At NorthStar Anesthesia, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to staffing our locations. Rather than emphasize ratios, we build the right staffing model for each location and case mix, prioritizing our anesthesia care team approach to meet patient needs.
At NorthStar, we strive to offer opportunities aligned with clinicians’ interests, career goals, and ability to balance work and life. Further, with our triad model, our clinical team members have regular opportunities to engage in decision-making and mentorship to optimize the clinician experience.
We don’t offer either research or education opportunities ourselves. Those opportunities exist at the facilities that also have medical schools that allow our clinicians to participate in their research or educational opportunities.
Working closely with local leadership, who provide perioperative management and oversee team dynamics, our regional leaders support local leaders with a focus on recruitment and retention and apply best practices in performance improvement from other sites. Together, our local and regional leaders work with national leaders to inform career pathways, training, and skill development throughout NorthStar facilities.
