Build Patient Attraction and Retention Growth Strategies
Overview
Identify and prioritize opportunities to address network leakage by tracking patient utilization of the care continuum after an interaction with a potential referring provider. This methodology measures success of a health system’s strategic planning initiatives and market-specific growth over time.
Measuring Patient Flow
HSG measures Patient Flow through a separate and distinct 3-step process that begins with the identification of source providers and the associated patient population. Patient populations are customizable to answer the specific business question presented.
STEP 1: IDENTIFY SOURCE PROVIDER PATIENT POPULATION
PATIENT POPULATION
Define source provider(s) and associated patient populations for evaluation.
STEP 2: DEFINE PATIENT FLOW WINDOWS
Track all patient interactions PRE and POST source provider services for custom care windows (30, 60, 90 Days).
STEP 3: MEASURE PATIENT FLOW
Measure percent of service volume to aligned providers versus competitor providers and/or facilities.
