Clinical Excellence

An operating room is only as good as its patient outcomes, which is why clinical excellence is non-negotiable.

Our industry-leading protocols include:

Multimodal Anesthesia

Advanced Regional Anesthesia

Pre-hydration/Pre-habilitation

Goal-directed Fluid Therapy

Early Ambulation, Feeding and Fluid Intake

Decreased Opioid Use Throughout Continuum

Financial Optimization

As our healthcare system shifts to a value-based reimbursement model, hospital administrators face greater financial challenges. Hospitals are expected to run leaner and with less money. It's a scenario that affects not only anesthesia but other areas of the hospital, as well.

We explore savings opportunities such as:

Allocating Clinicians for Maximum OR Utilization

Standardizing Pharmacy and Medical Supplies

Managing Billing and Collections Services

A Hierarchy of Needs

The first step is to ensure desired clinical coverage while we establish strong relationships with your administration.

Working collaboratively with you, we instill mission critical processes and identify local leaders who can begin to implement the NorthStar culture and systems while retaining most of your current staff.

A Hierarchy of Needs

A Network of Leaders

Our regional and national leadership organizational structure provides support and guidance for local leaders as they implement new processes and procedures.

The result is a stronger, more unified team of clinicians and a more efficient anesthesia department.
