Anesthesiologist Dr. Ezekiel Akande currently serves as the chief executive officer of the Somerset Regional Pain Center in Somerset, Kentucky. Dr. Ezekiel Akande is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA).
Established in 1905, the ASA is an association is committed to raising the practice standards for anesthesiologists through education and research. In performing its functions, the ASA develops models and guidelines to promote the safety of patients in the surgical setting.
The ASA has recently announced that it is going to work alongside the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) – the world's largest association of medical doctors specializing in musculoskeletal disorders – in developing the Perioperative Surgical Home (PSH) model of care. The PSH concept was developed to address the growing problem of the fragmented surgical delivery system commonly seen in healthcare settings today. The goal was to create a model that would emphasize quality of care, patient satisfaction, and reduced costs by eliminating cancellations and delays in surgery, reducing complication rates and readmissions, and cutting the duration of hospital stays.
