In this special edition of Outpatient Surgery Magazine’s Podcast series, we speak to Michael A. MacKinnon, DNP, FNP-C, CRNA, owner of MacKinnon Anesthesia and host of the popular podcast “Anesthesia Deconstructed.”

In a wide-ranging conversation, Dr. MacKinnon dives deep into the current anesthesia shortage that’s affecting the healthcare industry and discusses the increasing trend of consolidation and the challenges it poses to all facility types — particularly smaller ASCs — the need for creative solutions and more efficient service delivery models, and much, much more.
