One of the big questions in healthcare right now is how to effectively use AI to improve operations and deliver high quality care. Join @MGMA on tomorrow, Aug 12, to learn how to assess where AI fits best in your organization and how to deploy it.

Our webinar on the 2025 @MGMA DataDive datasets is coming up, August 5. @MedEdit and Dawn Plested will share what our data reveals about management and staff compensation, the causes of double-digit increases, strategies for filling skills gaps, and more.

In healthcare, we’re facing even more uncertainty about the future, and that’s saying something. I found this IdeaCast interview from @HarvardBiz with @LHSummers insightful. He shares his expertise on planning, economic shifts worth our attention, and more.

The title of this article from @MedEconomics buries the lead. AI/LLM models consistently recommended less medical care based on messages written as if they came from women. AI is learning bias from what it’s fed, showing the real-world effects.

Marie Brown, @KHopkins_MD, @Michael_A_Tutty, and @aleksayers of the AMA will be delivering a valuable, practical workshop at our 2025 Leaders Conference. Register to learn best practices for implementing change that can help any practice run better.

Data on med students who pursue dual degrees can help us keep our eye on future physician trends. Are dual degrees an indicator of MDs who choose not to practice medicine? Thanks to @AAMCtoday for sharing, I’m interested to see what the data reveals next.

On July 22, MGMA’s government affairs team will share a mid-year policy update for members, covering vital legislative and regulatory changes that every practice leader should understand, including reimbursement, telehealth, quality reporting, and more.

In healthcare, data and research are important. Equally important is how we interpret the data. Amy Finkelstein explains the “difference between no evidence of impact and evidence of no impact” and corrects misunderstandings about her research in @STATnews.

Healthcare as an industry is already data security conscious, but with the increase in more sophisticated cyberattacks, we can always do more. F. Muhly, J. Jordan, @RobertCialdini, and G. Neidert explain how to weave it into your culture. Via @harvardbiz

Protecting healthcare practices against cybercriminals is becoming urgent. The DOJ halted billions of dollars of Medicare payments to overseas bad actors using AI-driven analytics. It could offer lessons for even smaller practices. Via @healthcaredive

The July edition of @MGMA Connection offers an abridged version of our revealing report, State of Private Medical Practice 2025. As @MedEdit explains, private practices are under pressure. We need to support their innovation, autonomy, and sustainability.

I got a text reminder for a doc appointment and cancelled it through the system. The practice never got the message and called when I was a no-show. If things like this happen in your practice, costing money and trust, check out this free @MGMA webinar.

Leaders spend a lot of time negotiating—with vendors, colleagues, our own teams—even if we aren’t conscious of it. In this episode of the @HiddenBrain, @BazermanMax helps us understand how our biases and blind spots could be keeping us from success.

On a day designed to honor the people who have sacrificed so much for us all, I’d like to shine a light on the important work of the Wounded Warrior Project. #MemorialDay

I love The Pitt, like millions of others—and it’s hard to watch. It so accurately captures problems like nursing shortages and hospital financing. John Samuels looks at it through the eyes of patients, and offers tips for navigating an ER visit. @Forbes

TPMG estimates they saved 15,000+ hours by implementing AI-driven ambient scribe technology, reducing physician burnout and improving patient communication. The latest edition of MGMA Connection captures insights from Brian Hoberman and Vincent Liu.

“Care teams using predictive technology reduced … hospitalizations by 48%.” Sanjay Basu lays out compelling options for reducing Medicaid costs while improving outcomes. Less bureaucracy, better tech, and smart community health initiatives. Via @STATNews

“What if this isn’t the storm—what if it’s the climate?” A powerful question for leaders in #healthcare. How can we distinguish whether one new disruption is just a sign of the times or an anomaly? @CherylEinhorn gives us some guidance. Via @HarvardBiz

The high-value MGMA Summit online conference is less than a month away, and free for our organizational members. Experts and experienced leaders will address critical issues, like growth, patient experience, AI, compensation models, and value-based care.
