The Medical Group Management Association’s most recent MGMA Stat poll asked medical practice leaders if they are satisfied with their organization’s culture (such as norms, values and mission). The majority of respondents are at least somewhat satisfied with the culture of their organization.
Of the 52% who indicated “yes,” many point to engagement, shared sense of purpose, teamwork and camaraderie as driving forces for a culture they have worked hard to establish. Furthermore, nearly a third of respondents were “somewhat” satisfied often citing that the culture is well established on paper, but not adequately put into practice by a variety of levels of staff. The remaining 17% who reported “no” said that their culture is not unified; although many are working to improve this aspect of their organization.
This poll was conducted on April 10, 2018, with 1,389 total responses. Read more from MGMA’s principal consultant on organizational culture here.
