ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA (August 8, 2016) Privia Medical Group (“Privia”), a national physician organization built-for-purpose to succeed in population health, was identified as one of the nation’s highest performing medical groups across all outcome measures, according to athenahealth researchers after examination of key financial and operational indicators.

Among groups with more than 50 physicians, Privia ranked in the 94th percentile on financial performance, 90th percentile on same-practice growth, 89th percentile on new patient retention (percentage of patients that will return to the practice within 18 months), and 82nd percentile on portal adoption.
