The report, titled “2017 MGMA DataDive Physician Compensation and Production Survey,” presents comparative data of more than 120,000 providers across a variety of practice types, including physician-owned, hospital-owned, academic practices as well as other smaller practices. The academic subset consisted of data from more than 17,400 providers across 437 organizations. The non-academic subset had data from more than 96,000 providers across 5,000 organizations.
