Requirements MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center is looking for a Locum Cardiac Anesthesiologist to fill their need.Dates of coverage:June 9 weekJuly 7 weekJuly 31 weekall of August except last weekSept 1 weekDec 26 weekDec 29 weekDetails:Growing hospital cardiac surgery programTrauma Level IIPractice Setting: Hospital based. On rare occasions may need to oversee CRNAs at the ASC if no cardiac cases are scheduled and a physician is needed at the ASC location.Documentation System/EMR: Cerner - moving to EPIC some paperAverage Number of Surgical Cases Per Day: Cardiac surgeries 1/day but not every day 5-7 general cases/day. Must help cover general if no cardiac cases.Number of Anesthesiologists in Practice: 6 Patient Age Demographic: Adolescent Child Adult Geriatric. Very sick children are sent to other hospitals better staffed/equipped for children.Number of Operating Rooms: 8 in use at one timeCannot accept visa candidatesEstimated Credentialing Timeframe: 8 - 12 weeksQuestions answered by facility:Can you speak to the staffing model/supervision/direction/solo cases etc? The group practice is predominantly solo cases but they do have CRNA students rotating through so the cardiac anesthesiologist needs to be okay with students in the operating room with him/her. If there is any supervision/direction the partners will oversee that. If there are no cardiac surgeries scheduled the locum would be expected to take on general cases until the next scheduled heart case.Can you confirm how many pump cases/open heart cases are performed per year? The program has had hiccups the last 4-5 years with providers coming and going and trying to fill-in with locums. The hospital signed late last fall a cardiac surgeon to a 5 year contract so there is hope the program will now stabilize. They are projecting 90 hearts this year.Billing Rates Needed for Submission:Malpractice must be included in the ratesOrientationHourlyHolidayOvertimeHoliday OvertimeConversion fee 25k rate cap Please Note: Trinity Health does not reimburse for any application or credentialing fees.
