Welcome to value based care insights. I am your host, Daniel Marino. Back in April of this year there was an interesting ruling that came out from the FTC. I'm sure many of our of you, many of our listeners have seen that. And the ruling was really around the FTC banning non-competes. And, boy, I'll tell you it really started a whole series kind of a tighter wave of discussions, if you will. On what is potentially is going to mean to physicians. Single specialty physicians, such as anesthesia as well as employed medical groups, large multi-specialty groups who have employment agreements that have non-competes included in there. It really it started a lot of chatter. And then, very soon after the FTC came out with their ban, of course there was a number of appeals, and it stuck in an appeal right now. But again, it has such a large implication to our provider community that I thought it would be really interesting for us to dive into what the potential ban means, and what are those implications to both physicians who maybe they're negotiating employment agreements with a non-compete, or our executive partners who may be negotiating with a medical group that you may or may not want to include a non-compete. 

Well, I'm really excited today to have a colleague that I've worked with for quite some time, Hal Katz. Hal is a partner with Hush Blackwell. And he leads the healthcare life sciences and education strategic business unit for Hush Blackwell, over 30 years of experience. Just a great knowledge of information. And just a great guy. Hal welcome to the program.

Welcome to value based care insights. I am your host, Daniel Marino. In today's topic, we're going to spend some time talking about the changing anesthesia market and a lot of the pressures that we're seeing from our industry. Either. As a result of the anesthesia activities that are occurring. Maybe the shortage of the anesthesiologists and the sees of providers that are across the country, as well as the economic pressures. In many hospitals surgical services remains, if not the largest generator of revenue, It's certainly number 2. And yet anesthesia is such a critical component to providing that level of surgical services, not just in the hospital, but also in the surgery centers. So many hospitals are actually expanding their surgical services combining the services in the acute arena, but also in the ambulatory area.

Well, I'm really excited today to have 2 wonderful guests, 2 great colleagues, Tim Hanners, who is a former hospital executive, and has been working in the anesthesia space for a number of years, has helped, you know, quite a few organizations around the country help to improve and work through a lot of their anesthesia economic challenges as well as a lot of the operational challenges. I also have Dr. Dave Lebec and Dr. Lebec has been the chief medical officer for nationally, and the Seizure Service Company. Again, has worked with numerous organizations around the country from the provider perspective, just really helping to align the incentives and create a lot of clinical as well as operational efficiencies. Tim, Dave, welcome to the program.
