The Provider Non-Discrimination law from the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits commercial payers from discrimi-nating against providers based on their licensure, has been in effect for more than a decade now. In 2020, Congress re-quired the federal government to issue rules and enforcement policies that would prevent commercial payers from dis-criminating against providers. But enforcement isn’t happening, and deadlines keep getting missed. This has led to two big commercial payers to institute policies paying CRNAs 15% less than physician anesthesiologists for the exact same services, which has created a discriminatory environment.
On September 27, 2024, the AANA took action to protect patients' access to care and prevent further discrimination on its members by filing a writ of mandamus against the Biden administration for failure to do more to enforce this law. Why did AANA feel compelled to bring this lawsuit? What does this mean for CRNAs and the facilities where they work? And ultimately, what does this mean for the patients they serve?
Today, we're going to get the latest and learn the details from AANA CEO Bill Bruce, AANA President Janet Setnor, MSN, CRNA, Col. (Ret), ASAFR, NC, and AANA President-elect Jeff Molter, MBA, MSN, CRNA. This could be a huge moment in time for the profession and we’re going to fill you in on everything the AANA hopes to accomplish.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
Why now for the lawsuit and what exactly does the writ of mandamus mean?The cost shift that will happen and what it means for billing.Are CRNAs able to recoup financial damages?Can AANA members get involved?What is the AANA doing to further prevent Anthem’s policy or stopping Cigna’s policy?What is the timeline for everything moving forward?Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/

In this episode, we’re spotlighting a cutting-edge study on the nociception level (NOL) index and its potential impact on intraoperative opioid management. The NOL index, a tool that uses machine learning to assess nociception during general anesthesia, promises a more precise way to monitor patient responses to pain. However, as we’ll discuss, a recent meta-analysis found that NOL monitoring did not significantly reduce opioid consumption compared to traditional methods, raising questions about its effectiveness in everyday clinical practice.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
What is the NOL index and can it help improve patient outcomes?Background on the study and the research involved.What did the meta-analysis reveal about the effectiveness of NOL monitoring in reducing intraoperative opioid use?The reduction in extubation time is a positive finding and suggests that NOL monitoring might help anesthesiologists manage the overall anesthesia experience more effectively.Our thoughts on the study and where we think things could be headed in the future.Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/

In the ever-evolving world of anesthesia, patient safety and clinical outcomes are paramount. This is especially true for patients with a history of substance use, such as cocaine or methamphetamine. Today we’re joined by Laurent Estrada, Omar Silva, and Jake Abel, doctoral students from USC, who have dedicated their research to developing an algorithm designed to manage elective procedures for these patients. Find out how this could impact clinical practice and help standardize care for a growing issue.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
Why has methamphetamine and cocaine use become a growing problem for CRNAs and how they’re addressing the lack of guidelines for anesthesia?What signs can you look for to tell if a patient has cocaine or meth toxicity?A detailed walkthrough of their algorithm and background on how they developed it.The challenges they’ve faced as they’ve developed this algorithm.See the algorithm here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Algorithm-.pdf
