Provider Complement Analysis

How Efficient Is Your Care Model?

As medical groups prepare for more value-based care, it has become increasingly important to manage operational efficiency. Outside of providing high-quality care for patients, achieving the right balance of physician to APC complement can have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line. While seen as a lower cost alternative, APCs consume a similar amount of resources as physicians; and if not utilized effectively can be costly for the organization. Our team’s analysis can help identify areas of opportunity to better structure your care model.

Medical Group Analysis

We begin our analysis by reviewing the staffing ratios within each of your departments and benchmarking that against AMGA Consulting’s nationally renowned benchmarking data to uncover areas of misalignment. By using a volume-adjusted analysis, we can identify areas of opportunity where APCs can be utilized in a more efficient manner.

Key Takeaways

Inconsistent APC to physician complement, with staffing ratios greater than and less than market medians

Difference from median benchmark ranges from 4.08 FTEs less than to 2.25 FTEs greater than median benchmarks

Lower than market median physician and APC productivity in multiple clinics

An opportunity to better align APC to physician complement while continuing to explore opportunities to improve provider productivity

For example, the analysis above indicates that multiple primary care clinics have a provider complement that exceeds market medians by multiple FTEs. By examining provider productivity data, the organization may find their care model is even further misaligned.

While the numbers may tell you one story, it’s important that we compare each of these in context. There are likely several reasons for having extra staff support within your organization, and our experts, who are former medical group executives, can work with your organization to identify areas to improve alignment and efficiency.
