Abstract
Anesthesiology practices operate under immense pressure to balance precision-driven clinical care with administrative efficiency. Persistent challenges such as high turnover, administrative overload, and rising operational costs exacerbate these pressures. This case study explores how Rekha Tech LLC’s Anesthesiology Practice Virtual Assistant Services streamlined operations at a mid-sized clinic, enhancing patient care and reducing costs. Using data-driven insights, this study highlights the measurable benefits of integrating virtual assistants for anesthesiology into administrative workflows.

Introduction: Challenges in Anesthesiology Administration
Anesthesiology practices are tasked with delivering high-quality care while navigating intricate administrative demands. Common challenges include:
