Abstract

(Anesth Analg. 2022;135:1138–1141)

Workforce planning within acute care hospital services is especially important, though especially complicated due to inherently unpredictable, unstable, and frequently emergent needs. This editorial comments on the Im et al article “Obstetric Anesthesia Procedure-Based Workload and Facility Utilization of Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology Centers of Excellence Designated Institutions,” which studies procedure-based obstetric anesthesia workload and staff utilization using self-reported data collected from the Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology Centers of Excellence.
