Three quarters of healthcare organizations use internal assets to recruit physicians

The Medical Group Management Association’s most recent MGMA Stat poll asked health care professionals how their organizations recruited doctors and three quarters (75% ) responded that their organizations utilized internal assets.  Looking more closely at how these practices recruited, over a third of the respondents (34%) indicated they used an internal recruiter, physicians had the responsibility in 29%, and staff recruited physicians for the organization in 12% of the respondents.

An external recruiter was used to recruit physicians by just over 10%% of the respondents.  Additionally, 7% of respondents indicated they used another process, 2 were unsure.

The poll was conducted on February 27, 2017 and reported responses from 1,260 administrators.
MGMA Stat is a national poll that addresses practice management topics, the impact of new legislation, and related topics. Participation is open to all healthcare leaders.
