ABC distinguishes itself by providing optimal business tools to strengthen business processes and enhance cash flow—all while keeping pace with constant changes in the health care environment. ABC prides itself on the longevity of its client relationships and its ability to customize services to the unique requirements of each practice. ABC offers its clients innovative billing and reimbursement services, as well as valuable practice management tools and solutions that allow them to realize their own particular strategic visions and business plans.
The ABC Management Advantage
ABC distinguishes itself through its focus, operational approach and management structure:
- Unlike many competitors who continually redefine their market focus, ABC has remained true to its core market of anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists and pain management specialists, enhancing the credibility of its insight and advice.
- ABC believes its relationship with its clients is a true partnership—a partnership in which ABC not only helps improve the billing process, but also helps the group operate more efficiently in the operating room, and more proactively in its relationship with the hospital.
- ABC’s centralized approach allows effective management and oversight, ensuring consistent results.
- Managing a business based on the input and expectations of shareholders does not always result in the most appropriate business decision making. Because ABC is privately held, it has much greater flexibility in setting its agenda, managing the business and being responsive to its clients’ needs.

This powerful tool supports electronic claims editing to ensure consistently high billing acceptance rates and minimizes manual intervention in payment posting through direct remittance processing. Providers also are able to receive real-time or historical information through F1RSTAnesthesia’s web-based technology or advanced data warehousing/data-mining technology.
OneSourceAnesthesia is a powerhouse platform that offers an ˆ la carte approach to the complete perioperative process—clients choose the features they need now, and have the peace of mind that comes from knowing OneSourceAnesthesia is adaptable and that they can add increasing functionality as their needs grow and change. The OneSourceAnesthesia platform offers:

- Meaningful use
The primary hardware tool required for ABC’s solution is an Apple iPad. The OneSourceAnesthesia solution requires no interaction with the hospital or surgery center’s servers to host the software. These elements, when combined with the intuitive user experience of OneSourceAnesthesia, offer an unparalleled platform to streamline and automatically incorporate best practices and clinical protocols to any practice.
- F1RSTUse is the first full-service EMR management platform built exclusively for anesthesiologists and pain management specialists to satisfy stages 1 and 2 of meaningful use that are required to earn the Medicare or Medicaid EHR incentive payment.
- F1RSTAnalytics provides Insight at Your Fingertips. We all know that data helps us make better, more educated decisions. But collecting large amounts of data is ineffective without the proper tools to display those insights. Without understanding the context of a specific metric, it can be easily misunderstood and misrepresented. Physicians and managers alike require a smooth transition from the clinical, administrative and operational data sets to better understand the true messages that the data are trying to tell. Make the Data Work for You. F1RSTAnalytics is the ultimate in technical sophistication. It offers data prowess, providing the data to aid in operating your anesthesia practice as an effective clinical organization and successful business. The information you need, provided in a way you can use it.
