DAVE – This is what happens when private equity takes over anesthesiologists and other medical services. Private equity has squeezed so much out of physician lives and their practices, that practice has become intolerable. They are all so burnt out that the physician anesthesiologist must now strike out against their own private equity group owners (NAPA). The trickle-down effect becomes with the hospital now caught in the middle, contracted with a private equity group which provides anesthesia, but they have no anesthesiologist employees.
Where does patient care survive?

| Colleagues, As you may be aware, Inova contracts with North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) to provide anesthesia services at Inova Loudoun Hospital. This week, we received notice that our anesthesiologists at Inova Loudoun Hospital have submitted 90-day notice letters of resignation to NAPA. In the spirit of full transparency, we are sharing this news with our physicians. Here’s what you need to know: Although we are monitoring this situation, Inova is not a participant in discussions. They are held solely between the anesthesiologists and NAPA. We are actively working to ensure minimal disruptions to current workflows at our care sites. Our anesthesiologists are among the best in the country, and we fully expect that our team members will continue to provide world-class healthcare to the communities we are privileged to serve. Per our care mandate, people are at the center of everything we do, and we take any situation that affects the work environment of our team members very seriously. We will continue to communicate with NAPA and keep you apprised of pertinent developments. If you have questions about this situation, please contact Loren Rufino, Senior Vice President, Perioperative Services. Thank you, John J. Moynihan, MD, FACS President, Surgery Service Line Loren A. Rufino SVP, Perioperative Services Administrator Surgery Service Line Paula R. Graling, DNP, RN, CNOR, NEA-C, FAAN VP, Nursing, Surgery Service Line |
