Griffith, PhD,*† Julia Harris, MSN,‡§ Jeffrey Darna, PhD, DNP,∥ Richard P. Dutton, MD, MBA,¶ and Hillary J. Mull, PhD\\#**  \nImportance: Anesthesia care is delivered by Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) working independently, physician anesthesiologists working alone, and anesthesia care teams with CRNAs supervised by physician anesthesiologists. The impact of these models and CRNA supervision on patient satisfaction remains unclear.  \nObjective: To identify associations between anesthesia care team credentials, CRNA supervision, and patient satisfaction with care access, provider ratings, and overall satisfaction.  \nDesign: We linked survey data on patient satisfaction with administrative data from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to gather veteran demographics, staffing, and clinical features of each surgical case.  \nReceived for publication December 20, 2024; accepted September 22, 2025.  \nFrom the *Veterans’ Wellbeing through Innovation, Systems Science and Experience in Learning Health Systems (VETWISE-LHS), VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System; †Department of Health Policy, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN; ‡Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, CA; §VA Quality Scholars Advanced Fellowship Program, VA San Francisco, San Francisco, CA; ∥Department of Anesthesiology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA; ¶Department of Anesthesiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Largo, MD; \\#Center for Healthcare Optimization and Implementation Research (CHOIR), VA Boston Healthcare System, Boston, MA; and **Department of Surgery, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA.  \nHarris’ effort was supported by the VA National Quality Scholars Advanced Fellowship Program (3Q082019C) .
