1 UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SCHOOL ANESTHESIOLOGY RESIDENCY PROGRAM CA-3 ANESTHESIOLOGIST-IN-CHARGE (AIC) ROTATION OVERVIEW CA-3 residents will spend tw cntiguus weeks in the rle f anesthesilgist-in-charge in the University perating rm. They will nt be assigned t ther resident functins unless applicable t the management f the daily schedule. They will initially be riented t the daily tasks f the directr including managing placement f cases in the perating rm schedule, adjusting staffing during the day, crdinatin f scheduling with the surgens and nursing supervisr, and determinatin f staffing assignments fr the next day s schedule. They will carry the directr beeper during the day, addressing scheduling issues, persnnel issues, and case management as apprpriate. The designated AIC attending anesthesilgist will be available fr cnsultatin n all matters thrughut the day. GOAL The gal f this rtatin is t prvide the resident with a better understanding f the intricacies f Operating Rm management, hw the larger systems with which we interact (bth within and external t the institutin) impact the Operating Rm, and hw the Operating Rm impacts thse larger systems. COMPETENCIES Given the nature f this rtatin, mst f the bjectives incrprate several f the cmpetencies simultaneusly. They are placed in the categries belw based upn primary prcess. I. PROFESSIONALISM At the cnclusin f the rtatin, the resident will: Understand the imprtance f prfessinalism in the rle f perating rm management II.

III. SYSTEMS-BASED PRACTICE At the cnclusin f the rtatin, the resident shuld understand:

2 The difference between the scheduled elective surgery list and the Add-On /emergent/ urgent cases. Understand the basics tenets f prper resurce management The perating rm rganizatin as it applies t hspital administratin, surgical specialities, supprt staff, anesthesia and anesthetic supprt staff. Becme familiar with the rganizatinal structure f the Operating Rm and hw that interfaces with the larger system structure Learn hw manage staffing in a multicampus anesthesilgy practice mdel Learn hw effective OR management has a psitive impact n resident educatin Becme familiar with the Jint Cmmissin Patient safety gals as well the regulatry requirements with which an OR and Anesthesilgy department has t be cmpliant t maintain accreditatin Understand the basic cncepts f Anesthesia Billing Learn Basic LEAN cncepts fr managing the Operating Rm Operating rm efficiency as it relates t turnver times, rm utilizatin IV. PRACTICE-BASED LEARNING At the cnclusin f this rtatin, the resident will have: Learned abut the leadership pprtunities available t the anesthesilgist within Periperative Services Learned t cllabrate with the OR nursing leadership and cmmunicate with surgens regarding patient flw in the OR Learned abut the perating rm rganizatin as it applies t hspital administratin, surgical specialities, supprt staff, anesthesia and anesthetic supprt staff. CURRICULUM Didactics will begin with daily infrmal sessins as the day prgresses. Planned sessins thrughut the general curriculum will include: ABCD f Anesthesilgy Practice: AIC Rtatin Lecture Series Anesthesilgy and OR Management 101 Accreditatin and Regulatry Cmpliance BOB: Basics f Anesthesia Billing Cnflict Reslutin, Negtiatin and Team Building Drive Thrughput: Patient Experience and OR Efficiency LEAN Training Leadership Skills Systems Based Imprvement Prject

3 Each resident is required t submit a prpsal fr a Systems Based Imprvement Prject in ne f the fllwing areas: Patient Experience Imprving Quality f Care Increase OR Thrugh-put Cntribute t Financial Sustainability Each resident will have an AIC Attending wh will serve as their mentr fr her/his prject. The resident with the prpsal that is judged t have the ptential fr maximum impact will be given the pprtunity, supprt and funding t attend the American Sciety f Anesthesilgy Annual Practice Management Cnference Resident Track. Participatin in Cmmittees As a part f the AIC Rtatin, residents will be invited t attend and cntribute t the existing multidisciplinary Cmmittees wrking n imprving patient flw in Periperative Services, including the Operating Rm Executive Cmmittee. Expectatins frm Residents n AIC Rtatin The resident will schedule a time t meet with Dr. Kaur, the rtatin directr and Operating Rm Medical Directr/Clinical Vice Chair f the Department f Anesthesilgy, prir t the start f the rtatin. Review gals and bjectives f the AIC Rtatin at the abve meeting Obtain the reading package/curriculum frm Lisa Nichlsn, the residency cdinatr. Review the Slutins t Systems Based Prblems frm and cncept with the Rtatin Directr Identify a systems based prblem that impacts either patient flw/safety r efficiency in the OR Fill ut the Slutins t System Based Prblems frm at the end f the rtatin and review with the Rtatin Directr. Hand in the abve frm t the Residency Crdinatr s that it may be added t the Resident s Prtfli.
