How to improve patient acquisition and retention with the Salesforce Health Cloud

Challenges facing the healthcare industry

Today's patients are more empowered than ever before to research healthcare providers that can align with their expectations to provide high-quality, efficient, and friendly services. In order for providers and healthcare organizations to stay competitive and attract new patients and referrals, they must use strategies that generate a constant stream of patients that go beyond the traditional marketing channels. Market leaders are using multiple marketing channels that include physician referrals, digital marketing, and traditional media, so it is essential to capture and engage all leads that express interest in your practice.

The best approach

When considering an improved system to manage your new patient leads, it's essential to have the ability to integrate your existing client database and retain all the information you need to access.

Fortunately, the Salesforce health cloud offers all the tools you'll need for a seamless integration.

There are several benefits to using the Salesforce Health Cloud and Salesforce Marketing Cloud for your healthcare organization: 

1. Automation

By automating patient acquisition and retention, you will reduce the man-hours to manually input data into your existing CRM or client database, make phone calls, or send outpatient communications through email or direct mail. 

2. Physician Referral Management To Acquire New Patients. 

By using "smart" physician referral management, you'll more easily identify referring physicians that are sending you more new patients than others through intelligent segmentation. With this valuable information, you may decide to build deeper relationships with physicians that are generating more revenue for your practice through their referrals.

3. Customized Data Through Intelligent Dashboards 

In addition to referrals, targeted campaigns across multiple channels will likely result in a multitude of different leads and patient information to be organized and followed up with at a later time.  Regardless of how leads come through your doors, they can be compiled and accessed more efficiently by using intelligent dashboards, leading to shorter lag times in following up with new patients.  If you are funneling prospects through your website, they can be routed to the appropriate department with health assessment questionnaires and recommendations for the next steps to book their appointment. 

4. Make An Impact With Personalized Support. 

A prospect's first point of contact with your practice is their first impression of what it's like to be a patient. If they are left on hold for extended periods of time, or speak with customer service reps that can't answer questions or need extra time to find the right answer, you'll lose potential patients (and revenue) in the process and they'll likely look elsewhere to get the care they need. 

In order for patients to be assisted promptly, your staff must be equipped with tools that will empower them to answer every question with the highest level of confidence and accuracy. By integrating with your back-end systems and by accessing a complete view of the patient, your staff will be empowered to answer all questions accurately.
