Medical Group Practice

Ready
This content area consists of outpatient/ambulatory care facilities that may be either freestanding clinics associated with a larger healthcare network/organization or medical group practices (such as physician-owned clinics). This content area recognizes the current integration of medical group practices into larger hospital and related types of healthcare organizations, while also respecting the medical group practice as a stand-alone treatment facility for preventative and specialized care.

This content area spans across all courses offered in healthcare administration. Therefore, course learning objectives for other content areas support those required in the field of medical practice management. While this content may be taught as a stand-alone course at some institutions, it is the composite healthcare administration curriculum that supports objectives necessary for successful medical practice management.

Refer to the 2011 MGMA-ACMPE Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management, 2nd Edition as the standard for identifying both topics and topic descriptions for the medical practice management content area.
