Anesthesia staffing shortages continue to challenge healthcare organizations across the United States. In response to the evolving landscape, Medicus Healthcare Solutions, a leading locum tenens and healthcare workforce solutions company, has released its 2026 report, The State of Anesthesia Care Delivery: Data, Trends, & Strategic Solutions.
Created for healthcare leaders, the report brings together national data and Medicus' proprietary insights across the anesthesia workforce, including anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), and certified anesthesiologist assistants (CAAs), providing a comprehensive view of the current anesthesia landscape.
Beyond clinician supply and demand, the report explores the broader factors influencing anesthesia care delivery, including rising procedural demand, training constraints, geographic disparities, and retention pressures. It also examines how these conditions may evolve and the strategies healthcare leaders can consider as they plan for future coverage needs.
