MGMA Moments
I attended the MGMA Annual Conference last week in Las Vegas. Always Forward was the theme this year. MGMA reported over 4700 attendees at the conference and more than 300 exhibitors. During the event MGMA released its research on MGMA Physician Practice Assessment: Medicare Quality Reporting Programs. Check out all of our coverage of MGMA 2014.
At the conference I had the opportunity to meet several of the participants to chat with them on why they were there and what they were bringing to exhibit. You can hear the audios of my MGMA Moments and all our interviews on www.HealthcareNOWradio.com.
