      High-Performing Physician Enterprise (HPPE) Program

      As multispecialty medical groups continue to evolve, they urgently need to find comparable benchmarks and definitive ways to judge if they’re succeeding, existing, or faltering. They need a comprehensive resource to gauge where an organization is or provide any sort of roadmap to guide them on their journey. AMGA’s High-Performing Physician Enterprise (HPPE) Program is designed specifically for medical groups to address this need.

      What Is It?

      The HPPE Program is a two-year program consisting of three key components: an initial assessment, ongoing benchmarking, and AMGA’s collaborative framework to support your journey.

      Assessing High Performance

      Participants begin with a comprehensive assessment of their organization across seven domains. Our analysis provides tangible evidence and outcomes on vital focus areas, highlighting where there are opportunities that can move you towards becoming a more resilient organization.

      Ongoing Benchmarking

      The HPPE Program leverages Lightbeam Health Solutions’ best-in-class population health tools to serve as the clinical horsepower behind 15 quality measures participants can use to benchmark their performance against other AMGA members each quarter.

      Supporting Your Journey

      AMGA has a celebrated history of best practice collaboratives through AMGA Foundation, and this framework builds off that tradition, providing webinars, a community listserv, white papers, and two dedicated in-person meetings each year to support members along their respective journeys.

      Seven Domains That Lead to High Performance

      We believe there are seven key areas that lead to high performance in the medical group, and they provide the framework for our HPPE Program. These domains are measured with both quantitative and qualitative input from your organization.

      • Governance, Leadership, Culture Domain: Assess the overall DNA of your medical group’s culture with guidance on what is considered best practice in the industry.

      • Provider Domain: Evaluate the strength of your provider group with recommendations on ways to increase engagement and advance your organization's goals.

      • Patient Domain: Measure how your organization connects with its various patient populations with comparable benchmarks around key performance indicators.

      • Clinical Outcomes Domain: Utilize proprietary benchmarks to compare your organization’s clinical performance against other AMGA members.

      • Operational Domain: Conduct a comprehensive review of medical group processes with guidance on where enhancements may be leveraged.

      • Financial Domain: Analyze the total financial health of your physician enterprise with comparable data to like organizations.

      • Value Domain: Perform an overall assessment of your readiness for value with a market-appropriate roadmap for your organization.
