Alexandria, VA and Dallas, TX – The American Medical Group Association (AMGA), the trade association leading the transformation of healthcare in America, today announced an exclusive partnership with IKS Health to explore “core vs. chore” functions impacting provider workflow. IKS Health is a premier provider enterprise enablement platform, and will work jointly with AMGA to reevaluate provider enterprise operational structure in order to create efficiencies that will enable the transformation of care delivery. The collaboration will identify mission-critical core tasks for provider enterprises and distinguish them from mission-supportive functions that can be delegated to increase financial and operational efficiencies for providers.
“Our more than 400 member medical groups and health systems have faced historic challenges to delivering care these past several years, including significant staffing shortages, a growing supply and demand gap in care access, and a rapidly changing reimbursement environment,” said Jerry Penso, M.D., M.B.A., AMGA President and Chief Executive Officer. “Many have adapted, but now are looking to gain a fresh perspective on how to build their systems, processes, and infrastructure to succeed for the long run. We are pleased to partner with IKS Health to reexamine how expertise and technology can supplement to better preserve providers’ ability to care for patients.”
“Transforming care delivery requires a critical re-evaluation of how provider enterprises are operationally structured,” said Sachin Gupta, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of IKS Health. “In partnership with AMGA and learning collaboratively with its member organizations, IKS Health is excited to work closely with industry-leading decision makers nationally to understand how provider enterprises can realign their focus on mission-critical core functions while engaging innovative enterprise-grade solutions for mission-supportive functions to gain scalability and efficiencies. We believe we have an obligation to examine these burdens in our health system so that we can better enable the practice of medicine and protect providers’ relationships with their patients.”

In advance of the fall event, AMGA and IKS have conducted a survey and plan to hold focus groups with AMGA members.
