Medical practices are evaluated on the quality of care they provide their patients. Increasingly, in a consumer-driven healthcare market, practices are also assessed on patient satisfaction.
Successful medical practices know effective patient scheduling is more than just setting a date and time. How your practice schedules appointments affects everything from the efficiency of the clinic’s workflow to the quality of the patient experience.
In an era of choice, when patients shop for medical providers the way they shop for any service, it’s vital to not only bring new patients into your practice, but to keep the patients you have coming back. The financial value a patient has to your practice goes far beyond their first visit. To build and grow your business, you need to optimize for PLV — your patient lifetime value. Practices can improve their PLV by focusing on the patient experience, encouraging patients to return for follow-up visits, building relationships, and optimizing back-end operations.
