Module helps you evaluate your practice

The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA)–American College of Medical Practice Executives has released the DataDive: 2012 Procedural Profile Module, a Web-based tool that practices can use to understand patient base, explore potential new service lines, and ensure adequate staffing.

The tool allows users to develop an organizational profile that can be benchmarked against peers using national and credible MGMA data. The data can then be used to better understand patient demand and future workload.

The module also can be used to compare procedures with those performed by other practices in the same specialty and region. Indicators allow practices to evaluate and make changes to expense allocations and determine staffing ratios based on types of procedures performed.
