Here are seven ways medical practices are attracting staff, according to the June MGMA Management and Staff Compensation report: 

1. Improved employee engagement efforts

2. Increasing paid time off or reducing schedules

3. Outsourcing for scribe work and medical coding

4. Providing salary increases ahead of schedule

5. More opportunities for remote work

6. Employing entry-level college students from local schools to build talent pipelines and developing those workers

7. Offering referral bonuses for staff members who help bring in new hires

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
