DALLAS, TEXAS, March 1, 2011 – The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Performance and Practices of Successful Medical Groups: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data identified Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants as a “better performer” because of superior operational performance compared with similar medical group practices nationwide.
Among other areas, Metro Anesthesia was recognized in the area of Patient Satisfaction. They were the only Anesthesia group in the state of Texas to receive this recognition. Patient safety and customer service are core beliefs within Metro Anesthesia.
Established in 1991, Metro Anesthesia has grown from six founding members to nearly sixty physicians that practice at the best hospitals and surgery centers in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Over the years, Metro Anesthesia has become known for their superior service, compassion, professionalism, and their dedicated and talented physicians.
“Metro is committed to offering the best patient care, both from a clinical and service perspective”, says Dr. Norman Rice, President of Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants. “We are proud that Metro is to be among such a successful assembly of peer groups.”
The MGMA report, a benchmarking standard among medical groups for over a decade, was produced using data from respondents to the MGMA Cost Survey: 2010 Reports Based on 2009 Data as well as data from a questionnaire that assessed management behaviors, practices and procedures of better performers. The report profiles medical practices that have demonstrated success in one or more areas: profitability and cost management; productivity, capacity and staffing; accounts receivable and collections; patient satisfaction; and managed care operations.
