Anesthesia Business Consultants (ABC) announces today that it has formed a partnership with Survey Vitals, the premier provider of patient satisfaction questionnaires to the anesthesia industry. ABC has long recognized that without a proper assessment of the status quo, it is impossible to determine proper priorities and goals. Integrated as part of ABC’s powerful OneSourceAnesthesia program, Survey Vitals will aid the clients of ABC by providing a level of feedback they’ve never experienced before. The end result is a new level of awareness, increased performance and elevated patient satisfaction.

Tony Mira, President and CEO of ABC states, “By adding Survey Vitals into our OneSourceAnesthesia platform, we enable our clients to make better decisions by proving effective monitoring of patient satisfaction levels, which is essential to decision making. The ability to view patient data and review patient comments leads to a fuller view of the process. Our clients can improve their anesthesia program with an effective patient monitoring system.”

Survey Vitals provides physician practices and hospitals with immediate, understandable, and actionable constituent feedback through a proprietary, electronic survey process. Easy to administer surveys with low bias and immediate reporting provide the data required for continuous improvement and increased patient, employee, and physician satisfaction. Survey Vitals offers the following anesthesia-centric programs: Patient Satisfaction, Surgeon Satisfaction, Anesthesiologist Satisfaction, CRNA/AA Satisfaction, and Peer-to-Peer Satisfaction.

Bob Vosburgh, President of Survey Vitals, says, "We’re flattered by the opportunity to partner with ABC, a premier provider of services to the anesthesia community. This partnership will elevate quality to the anesthesia community by providing real time patient satisfaction and peer feedback, that will improve the entire patient experience."

ABC and Survey Vitals are not alone in their commitment to status assessment. Richard P. Dutton, MD, MBA, Executive Director of the Anesthesia Quality Institute, states, “Without measurement it is unlikely that we will continue to improve.” With ABC and Survey Vitals you can improve your patient satisfaction and your bottom line.
