Whether you are looking at a hospital, managing needs in the clinic, or developing solutions as a healthcare tech vendor, this case study offers practical solutions and insights that elevate your approach to lead acquisition and patient relationship management.
Client information: A mid-sized healthcare system
The Client is a 200-bed hospital serving a regional population of more than 1,00,000 patients every year. While the hospital is known for delivering high-quality care and enjoys a great reputation, it faced operational challenges due to old and outdated technology, inefficient lead management, and gaps in patient follow-up processes.
Key issues included:
- Disconnected patient information
- Absence of a unified CRM platform
- Manual process, leading to missed follow-up opportunities
- Inadequate visibility into the effectiveness and ROI of marketing efforts
The challenge: Poor lead tracking and disconnected data
The hospital used old software and spreadsheets to manage patient enquiries, service requests, and references. Because of this,several problems occurred:
- Both sales and marketing teams could not see the full patient journey
- Potential patients were not followed up properly
- There was no clear way to track leads from marketing efforts or doctor referrals
Because of these challenges, implementing a CRM system became not just helpful but a necessity.
