Workforce challenges persisted for medical groups in 2022 as the number of clinical staffing FTEs fell by 11.3 percent and staffing expenses rose by 15 percent.
Ongoing workforce challenges have led to declining staffing ratios and high labor expenses for medical groups, a survey from the American Medical Group Association (AMGA) found.
The 2022 Medical Group Operations and Finance Survey reflects data from more than 24,000 healthcare providers across 5,600 clinics.
The findings indicated that staffing ratios have declined while staffing expenses have increased. Medical groups saw an 11.3 percent decrease in clinical staffing full-time equivalents (FTEs) on a per-provider basis compared to pre-pandemic levels. Positions with a high turnover risk, such as medical assistants, saw a more significant decrease.
