Comparing with MGMA’s Recommendations
Type of Employee MGMA Recommended Ratio Actual Ratio
Physician 1:1 1:1
Administrators about 1:5 1:16
Housekeeping/Maintenance too low 1:4
Medical Receptionists 4:5 1:1
Medical Secretaries/Transcriptionists 1:5 1:2
Medical Records about 1:3 3:4
RN’s about 1:3 1:2
LPN’s about 1:3 3:2

Reasons for Some of the Differences-
• Not a very large practice, so 1 administrator should be sufficient
• Will need more medical records employees to assure the successful implementation of Cerner
• Desire more LPN’s than RN’s because they cost less and can provide the basic bedside care needed
• There are 3 LPN’s for every 1 RN, but the RN’s should be expected to be leaders and direct LPN’s when necessary

Layoffs/Hires
•Small acquisitions=minimal job eliminations•Front line workers
•Outsourcing / meeting synergies

Are Employee Layoffs Necessary?
• After considering the demographics and needs of the surrounding area, it is suggested that none of the employees should be terminated
• Actually need to add more employees (nurses, medical records) to provide the supporting staff needed by each physician
• It is very important for HR leaders to assure employees that they have job security after an acquisition is made
