title: Whole practice productivity applies 'big picture' solution to performance improvement.
abstract: When health care organizations look at improving productivity, they typically focus on a few specific measures--work RVUs, office visits per day, or gross charges per physician, for instance--in which they've identified variations among physicians or clinics. Instead of relying strictly on the collection of a handful of isolated data points, two consultants affiliated with the Medical Group Management Association are trying to convince provider groups to become more efficient by looking at the bigger picture.
