Anesthesia Business Consultants (ABC), a leading provider in billing and practice management for the anesthesia and pain management specialty, is pleased to announce its latest partnership with the University of California at Irvine (UC Irvine). The anesthesia department at UC Irvine has long been a leader in various projects designed to promote the alignment of Anesthesiologists with their perioperative colleagues; to further the goal of supporting the entire perioperative process. ABC is thrilled to support UC Irvine with their billing operations as well as other programs into the future.

“The anesthesia department at University of California, Irvine looks forward to working with Anesthesia Business Consultants. Their approach to comprehensive billing and technology platforms matches our organization's needs and strategic initiatives,” said Dr. Zeev Kain, Chancellor's Professor & Chair of the UC Irvine Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Care. “UC Irvine is at the forefront of improving hospital-based care with projects such as the Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) and quality initiatives and ABC’s commitment to this specialty will help us to move into the future, secure in the knowledge that as our needs grow, so will their capabilities.”

ABC’s client portal and mobile business intelligence dashboard are recognized industry leaders for their strength and adaptability and their adoption by UC Irvine was one of the many reasons for the new partnership. ABC’s portal, F1RSTClient, delivers secure, seamless single-sign-on (SSO) access in a fully integrated system utilizing the powerful F1RSTAnesthesia and the flexibility of the F1RSTAnalytics series of dashboards—now available on desktops as well as mobile access. ABC’s partnerships with organizations such as TelePREOP provide a full range of offerings for the entire perioperative process that can’t be matched.

“ABC continues its trend on mutually beneficial partnerships,” says Tony Mira, President and CEO of Anesthesia Business Consultants. “UC Irvine has shown themselves to be forward-thinking, actionable, and dedicated to the pursuit of the most efficient and effective care possible for its patients. ABC is committed to their success and the success of all of our clients as they continue to partner with the facilities they serve. ABC will ensure that we support UC Irvine’s strategic goals in areas of quality, PSH, and anesthesia operations.”
