WORKING TOGETHER
USAP & Health Systems, Hospitals & ASCs
Partnering for success now and into the future.
Led by clinicians. Powered by Collaboration.
We work with you to advance your health system's success.
Stability and Transparency
Transparency is a cornerstone of our health system relationships. We strive to provide clear, ongoing visibility into clinical costs. We also help our contracted health systems understand and plan for expected future economics based on anticipated growth, new sites of service and more.
Support and Growth
USAP clinician leaders continually assess how to adapt and succeed amid the evolving dynamics of today’s anesthesia workforce.
Data-Driven Efficiency
We have developed and optimized a suite of proprietary analytical tools to target opportunities to improve anesthesia clinician utilization, support facility growth and reduce costs.
USAP, through their local leadership and their national management team, has consistently brought strong partnership and valued clinical and administrative expertise to our hospitals. They have been collaborative financial stewards through challenging financial times for us and have consistently recruited excellent clinical talent in a highly competitive market. From staffing our hospital ORs to covering multiple ASCs for us, they have demonstrated professionalism, transparency, and clinical excellence. I count them among our most valued clinical partners.
