    Last updated January 6, 2023, and based initially on Making It Work: Setting Up a Regional Anesthesia Program That Provides Value. The recommendations below represent the author’s opinion only and are not officially endorsed by any medical society or other organization. Regional anesthesiology and acute pain medicine (RAAPM) can add significant non-monetary value to a surgical practice and healthcare system in terms of pain relief, reduced incidence of anesthetic- and opioid-related side effects, and faster recovery (1-4). See Why We Need Acute Pain Medicine Specialists. However, gaining this expertise requires an investment of time and money, and the reality at the end of the day is that associating economic value to these procedures may increase their utilization. There are no clear guidelines for developing an efficient RAAPM practice with effective billing strategies in the United States, and the following suggestions are only suggestions based on my experiences setting up programs

    At the first in-person House of Delegates (HOD) session since 2019, I became President of the California Society of Anesthesiologists (CSA), the first Filipino-American to do so.   This could have only happened because of the incredible mentors and sponsors that I have been fortunate enough to have in my life. Over the course of the HOD weekend in June, we held a fundraising luncheon for the…

    Despite previously published guidelines and practice recommendations, there remains unwarranted variation in the quality of pain management provided to patients having surgery. Unwarranted variations in healthcare are inconsistencies in clinical practice that have no basis in science or patient preference. In 2019, the U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Pain Management Best Practices…

    When I first wrote What I Love about Being an Anesthesiologist for KevinMD in 2014, it was shared over 14,000 times! Nearly 4 years later, I still love what I do – in fact, I think I love it even more now! My wife and I were at a party recently attended by healthcare and non-healthcare people. Of course, I was asked the inevitable questions, What do you do? and What is it like? Here is how…

    I am a physician, clinical researcher, and educator. I am also on Twitter and tweet under the handle @EMARIANOMD. Naturally you may ask:  “How does Twitter fit into a physician’s academic career?”  Some of the benefits that Twitter offers doctors have been described previously by Dr. Brian Secemsky and Dr. Marjorie Stiegler among others.  Here are a few reasons…
