MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA), a leading national, single-specialty provider of anesthesia and perioperative services, proudly announces the launch of NAPA Managed Services. This comprehensive client solution is designed to address critical operating room (OR) operational needs for health systems and academic medical centers (AMCs). The new offering allows healthcare institutions to maintain autonomy over their anesthesia services while benefiting from NAPA's industry-leading expertise in revenue cycle management (RCM), data and analytics, consulting, recruitment, and operational excellence.

The new managed service suite provides advanced RCM, data analytics, talent acquisition, and award-winning quality, enabling health systems to effectively achieve their perioperative goals.

Rafael Cartagena, MD, NAPA's Chief Executive Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the launch: "NAPA Managed Services represents our commitment to equipping health systems and AMCs with the tools and insights they need to thrive. By sharing our nearly 40 years of specialized anesthesia knowledge and expertise, we're empowering our clients to achieve operational excellence while continuing to drive exceptional patient care. It's an innovative step forward, which reflects our dedication to supporting healthcare systems in delivering outstanding patient outcomes while they retain clinical control."
