No one in healthcare escaped the dramatic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, but quantitative research and stories from the front lines of care delivery make it clear: The response and recovery looked significantly different between physician group practices and hospital-owned entities.
Common threads united healthcare provider organizations since early 2020: concern for patient and staff safety, heightened stress, uncertainty, burnout and — eventually — the feelings of relief as safe and effective vaccines rolled out to begin controlling the spread of the coronavirus.
Yet as the industry's recovery continues, there are stark differences in the financial realities for medical practices throughout 2020, largely divided on lines of practice ownership.
The 2021 MGMA Cost and Revenue survey report collected data on more than 4,000 organizations from a variety of specialties and practice types, serving as a baseline for benchmarking 2021 operations.
