Abstract:
This study describes the rural and urban distribution of anesthesia providers across New York state and contrasts these findings with national distributions. It also documents the existence of an inefficient anesthesia provider mix that favors physicians over nurse anesthetists and has a major impact on the cost of anesthesia delivery in New York.
