The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between socioeconomic factors related to geography and insurance type and the distribution of anesthesia provider type. Using the 2012 Area Resource File, the correlation analyses illustrates county median income is a key factor in distinguishing anesthesia provider distribution. Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) correlated with lower-income populations where anesthesiologists correlated with higher-income…

Relationship Between State Policy and Anesthesia Provider Supply in Rural Communities
TLDR
It is found that anesthesiologists and CRNAs tend to be complements to each other, but less restrictive SOP and opt-out status tend to weaken the importance of this relationship, and state regulations may lead to increased supply ofCRNAs in rural communities.
The Surgical and Anesthesia Workforce and Provision of Surgical Services in Rural Communities: A Mixed-Methods Examination.
TLDR
While rural hospitals reported meeting community needs for elective and noncomplex surgeries, rural hospitals continued to face significant challenges providing subspecialty surgeries, emergency surgeries, and 24-hour obstetrical services.
Quality, Costs, and Policy: Factors Influencing Choice of Anesthesia Staffing Models.
TLDR
Surgical facility leaders' perceptions of CRNA quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness; the motivation and rationale for using different anesthesia staffing models; and facilitators and barriers to using CRNAs are sought to understand.
Determinants of Hospital Administrators' Choice of Anesthesia Practice Model
TLDR
This study showed that there are definitive areas that hospital administrators identify as high importance to the healthy functioning of their facility, and the presence of a hospital being located in a medically underserved area (MUA) alone was a predictor of type of anesthesia practice model utilized.
Trends in Direct Hospital Payments to Anesthesia Groups: A Retrospective Cohort Study of Nonacademic Hospitals in California.
TLDR
Direct payments from hospitals are becoming a larger financial consideration for anesthesia groups in California serving nonacademic hospitals, and are larger for groups working at hospitals serving publicly insured patients.
Benefits of Less Restrictive Regulation of Advance Practice Registered Nurses in Florida.
Is Rural Kansas Prepared? An Assessment of Resources Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic
TLDR
Kansas faced limited ICU capabilities and physician workforce shortages in rural counties, both in primary care and specialties such as anesthesia and pulmonology, and nonmetropolitan/urban adjacent and rural population age structures and mortality rates potentially demonstrated an increased risk to overwhelm local healthcare systems.

  • 2020
TLDR
It is found that being located in an opt-out state does not result in increased odds of CRNA service provision in US hospitals, adding to the growing literature suggesting that states adopting the opt- out policy have not realized increased health care access or reduced health care costs.
Relationship Between Population Density and Scope of Practice for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists in Arizona.
TLDR
It is suggested that removal of regulatory barriers to CRNAs' SOP could decrease costs and increase access to care and Autonomy plays a clear role in job satisfaction, which may have implications for recruitment and retention.
Effects of opting-out from federal nurse anesthetists' supervision requirements on anesthesiologist work patterns.
TLDR
Anesthesiologists had small but real responses to California's decisions to opt-out of the physician supervision requirement for CRNAs, doing more work in intraoperative care and less outside of the operating room.

Distribution of US anesthesia providers and services.
TLDR
This study describes the correlation between anesthesia providers by type (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist [CRNA] or anesthesiologist] and their respective rural or urban distributions across America and indicates that out of a total of 3,140 counties, there are 843 counties where neither anesthesiologists nor CRNAs reside.
Anesthesia provider model, hospital resources, and maternal outcomes.
TLDR
Hospitals that use onlyCRNAs, or a combination of CRNAs and anesthesiologists, do not have systematically poorer maternal outcomes compared with hospitals using anesthesiologist-only models.
Cost effectiveness analysis of anesthesia providers.
TLDR
Research and analyses indicate that CRNAs are less costly to train than anesthesiologists and have the potential for providing anesthesia care efficiently, and will be a key to containing costs while maintaining quality care.

Expansion of coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and primary care utilization.
TLDR
The PPACA's health insurance expansion parameters are expected to significantly increase the use of primary care, and policymakers may consider creating stronger financial incentives to attract medical school students to primary care and changing the delivery of care in ways that lead to operational improvements, higher throughput, and better quality of care.
Understanding Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Distribution in Urban and Rural Areas of the United States Using National Provider Identifier Data
TLDR
This study examined APRN distribution using the 2010 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Provider Identifier (NPI) data and described national and state-level rural and urban distribution and identified factors associated with rural practice.
Distance to care and relative supply among pediatric surgical subspecialties.
The geographic distribution of physicians revisited.
TLDR
Geographic access to physicians has continued to improve over the past two decades, although some smaller specialties have not diffused to the most rural areas, and current measures of geographic access overstate the extent of maldistribution.
States with the least restrictive regulations experienced the largest increase in patients seen by nurse practitioners.
TLDR
It is found that between 1998 and 2010 the number of Medicare patients receiving care from NPs increased fifteenfold, and states with the least restrictive regulations of NP practice had a 2.5-fold greater likelihood of patients' receiving their primary care from EMTs by 2010.
Status of the Anesthesia Workforce in 2011: Evolution During the Last Decade and Future Outlook
TLDR
Anesthesiologist supply constrained by small graduation growth combined with generation- and gender-based decrements in workforce contribution is unlikely to keep pace with the substantial population and public policy–generated growth in demand for service, even in the face of productivity improvements and innovation.
