5 customer experience metrics for savvy federal agencies to prove the value of CX
Here are easy-to-understand explanations of top metrics the federal government can use to measure the success of its investment in CX by Intelliworx Customer experience (CX) is one of those trends that happened gradually over time but feels like it happened overnight. The sudden interest is anything but sudden. The government has seized this trend with vigor and for good reason: technology should enable things to run more efficiently and effectively. For example, merely turning the tens of thousands of government paper forms into a PDF format, is applying analog thinking to a digital world. The static nature of a PDF means every form has to accommodate all possibilities – even if the possibility doesn’t apply to the person filling out the form. This is, in part, behind what OPM calls a “time tax.” By contrast, dynamic forms only ask for the information needed – a recognition that form is […]

Healthcare providers express frustration with payers over denied treatments [survey]
Providers chafe when insurance companies second guess their medical decisions; 74% indicate it happens frequently; 45% say it takes too much time; 44% have considered quitting over the demands these engagements add to their jobs by Intelliworx When healthcare insurers deny treatments it can derail a healthcare provider’s day. Suddenly, they are thrust into a forum where they have to justify their medical decisions. Many providers say this happens too frequently and takes up too much time. That’s according to a new survey of 211 U.S.-based healthcare providers published by Intelliworx. Respondents were solicited through an independent survey panel between January 30, 2025, and February 4, 2025. The survey may well serve as a call to action for healthcare employers as well. While many providers say their employers are supportive, there is a substantial percentage who say employers could do more to help them manage this challenge. What’s more, the […]
7 observations showing how rural healthcare is overcoming the provider shortage
Rural healthcare facilities are increasingly turning to nurse practitioners (NPs), international medical graduates (IMGs) and “non-residency” physicians to fill the gaps by Intelliworx They say constraint breeds creativity. When faced with limited resources, leaders find ways to apply those resources more effectively. Constraints tend to produce creative thinking that one might not have considered otherwise. One place we’ve found this to be true is rural healthcare. A persistent shortage of healthcare providers has forced the community, especially in rural areas, to find creative ways to solve this problem. That’s an observation we found woven throughout the 2024 Review of Physician and Advanced Practitioner Recruiting Incentives report. The report, which is the most current edition available, is produced by AMN Healthcare’s Physician Solutions division – formerly known as Merritt Hawkins. It’s compiled from a range of sources including other studies, surveys and most importantly, a “representative sample of the 2,138” provider […]
Regional provider compensation: There’s a wide delta between the highest and lowest
In one example, primary care physicians can earn up to $252,379 more annually by working in the highest-paying state in the PCP category (Mississippi) than in the lowest-paying state (Alaska) by Intelliworx The delta between the highest and lowest compensation among providers is staggering. You might think a provider stands to make more income working for a big city hospital than they do in a rural community, but that’s not always the case. Consider the following data – derived from the 2024 MGMA provider compensation data: Primary care physicians (PCP) can earn up to $252,379 more annually by working in the highest-paying state in the PCP category (Mississippi) than in the lowest-paying state (Alaska); Surgical specialists can earn up to $504,277 more annually by working in the highest-paying state in the surgical category (South Carolina) than in the lowest-paying state (Wyoming); Non-surgical specialists can earn up to $508,468 more annually […]
Provider compensation: AAPs see the biggest jump in pay
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants netted a 6.47% increase in total compensation, however, physicians still earn far more in comparison by Intelliworx Compensation is always a top priority in recruiting and retention – and salaries continue to grow in healthcare. MGMA illustrates this in its most recent compensation report: “Median total compensation for physicians in primary care, surgical specialties and nonsurgical specialties saw modest increases in 2023, as well as total compensation for APPs.” APPs, or advanced practice providers, which includes nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) saw the biggest jump according to the association: “For APPs, total median compensation outpaced the gains seen for physicians, with a 6.47% increase in 2023, contributing to a 16.23% gain since pre-pandemic 2019 levels.” Among just physicians, and excluding APPs, those fulfilling primary care roles saw a larger bump in pay: “The largest gains in total median compensation were for primary care […]
Healthcare physician productivity has skyrocketed
Data suggests technology investment has enabled providers to be more productive; physician-owned practices edge out hospital-owned practices by measure of wRVUs by Intelliworx Physicians have become increasingly more productive over the last decade or so. That’s according to the 2024 Provider Compensation Data Report by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). That finding was included in a report published last year, which reflects data from more than 211,000 physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs). APPs include nurse practitioners and physician assistants. It covers data through the year ending 2023 and is the most recent the association has currently available publicly. MGMA came to that conclusion by analyzing what the medical community refers to as “Work Relative Value Units” (wRVU). The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) says wRVUs reflect a “physician’s work, including mental effort, decision making, technical skills, physical effort, stress related to patient risk, and amount of time […]
SBA certifies Intelliworx as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Intelliworx CEO Rob Hankey served as a rotary wing pilot in the Army, a later as a flight test engineer; both experiences had a profound influence on his venture into SaaS and technology by Intelliworx The Small Business Administration (SBA) has certified Intelliworx as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). This makes the company “eligible to compete for sole-source and set-aside contracts,” according to the SBA. “At least 5% of all federal contracting dollars each year are set aside specifically for certified SDVOSBs,” the agency says on its website. There are other similar designations that “can also compete for contracts under other qualifying socio-economic programs.” To qualify for certification, businesses must meet certain requirements for both veteran ownership – and a service-connected disability. Intelliworx has long been accredited as a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) through the same program, however, the service-disabled designation is new. To be sure, Intelliworx has earned […]
The 7 most-read posts on the Intelliworx government and healthcare blog in 2024
CX, predictions for government technology next year, telework and government modernization are among the most popular blog posts we published in 2025 by Intelliworx This year is the first year we’ve made a real effort to weigh in with our thinking on government technology. We also began our first venture into developing software for private-sector healthcare facilities in rural areas – to address the talent crunch. In total, we published 32 blog posts about government and healthcare. That’s a good start for the first year and we wanted to see which ones were most popular. So, for our final post of 2024, here are the most-read posts on the Intelliworx blog, based on a review of reader analytics. Number 7: Government and citizens stand to gain from CX improvements Martha Dorris says good customer experience (CX) is a ‘patriotic’ initiative that provides better service and enables the government to run […]
Year in Review: 10 Milestones Intelliworx Achieved in 2024
Intelliworx reached 39 ‘authorizations to operate’ this year, secured a 100% customer renewal rate, and launched new software solutions, among other accomplishments over the last 12 months by Intelliworx This year has been one of the most successful years for Intelliworx in our 20-year history. We’re very proud of our team and what we’ve accomplished. While we spend the bulk of our time on this blog dedicated to exploring informative topics (i.e. government modernization, digital transformation, CX and etc.) that we think are helpful to our customers – we hope you’ll excuse us if we indulge in a short victory lap. Below are some of the actions and outcomes that made this year a milestone in our company’s history. 1. Earned 100% customer renewal Winning customer renewals is different in the government space. Solution providers in the private sector merely have to convince a customer to renew annually. Customers may […]
Year in review: 20 government tech statistics and numbers that summarize 2024
Federal employee engagement, IT modernization, AI, FedRAMP, CX and telework are among the technology issues summarized in numbers by Intelliworx Numbers are excellent tools for reflection. However accurate or faulty the human interpretation, a number on its own is agnostic. To put it another way, a number alone isn’t inherently good or bad – it just is – it’s just a number. As such, a numbers-driven post is a sound addition to our year-end roundup series. We’ve culled through the dozens of posts we’ve published this year to look back over the numbers. We’ve also done the same with several trade publications that cover the government space looking for such numbers. Below is what we found – it’s effectively a review of the past year in government technology – as expressed by numbers. 1. Federal employees report record engagement (73 of 100) Civil servants gave their employers high marks […]
