While medical practices are battled-tested and demonstrated their mettle during the most difficult times, the COVID-19 pandemic also brought to light their deficiencies as we head into 2021.
Though disruptive remnants of 2020 — including virtual care competency, searches for personal protective equipment (PPE) and patient access issues — carried over into 2021, practices were better equipped to handle these strains.
Throughout 2021, MGMA Stat — a weekly national poll of healthcare leaders on medical practice management topics — continued to take the pulse of the healthcare industry on crucial issues.
In this special year-in-review report, MGMA reflects on how practices handled vaccination policies, staffing struggles, practice culture and financial recovery.
