Case Studies (Continued)

How Doctors’ Reputations and Customer Service impact Brand Recognition and Profitability

What makes up the Brand?

The Brand of a practice or a hospital is made up of many factors, but the most important one

is the people that work there.

It’s their daily work, their interactions with patients, and their reputations that affect

brand recognition.

Case Study #1 - Patients recognize the “brand” but Google the doctor they want to see

HMCOE ran a well-tracked Google advertising campaign for a 50-practice-group for 30 days with ads specifically highlighting the brand.

The following month HMCOE ran advertisements specifically highlighting each doctor’s expertise

Result: 200% increase of new appointments.

Case Study #2Increasing Out-of-Network patient volume

HMCOE ran a 2 month advertising campaign for a 3-surgeon Orthopaedic practice resulting in 40 new patients, 5 of which were out-of-network

We followed up with a 1 month ad campaign specific to the newly improved reputation of each doctor for their sub-expertise.

Result: 12 more new out-of-network patients ~$7,000 surgeon’s fees per patient

ROI

That equals to 1766% ROI

on a $4500 investment(just on the out-of-network goal at month #2)

Total 2 month ROI=(profit-cost)/cost= 2111%

Reason for 2111% ROI

Each Doctor had 30+ publicly-displayed positive

reviews

…from verified patients.

It’s about Patient Demographics

It’s a known fact that if a person has $100,000+ salary and is within the 24-45 age group … 80% of this demographic Googles their doctors before scheduling an appointment and considers their social media presence as a “must” – Why?

Because customer service & background checks matter to “educated shoppers” who pay out of pocket!

They are also the ones with private insurance with out-of-network benefits.

Case Study #3: Are Employed Doctors Proactive?

80% of hospital-employed doctors have never Googled their own names (based on our analysis of 3 hospitals with a total of 250 employed doctors)

20% of doctors at these same hospitals have bad to awful patient reviews. Most of them within past 6 months.

Case Study #4: Doctor’s Reputations versus where patients go for surgery

HMCOE analyzed one 700-bed hospital and #1 local competitor – a local ASC owned by 20 doctors with STELLAR reputations (without ANY brand recognition)

It took 5 weeks for HMCOE to help 42 hospital-employed doctors raise their reputation levels.

Within 1st month: advertising spend decreased by $60,000 and case volumes skyrocketed by 120%.

During 2nd month: HMCOE continued highlighting sub-expertise of each doctor resulting in additional 30% increase in case volume.

Case Study #5 – Save your money!

Another 50-practice-group spending $150,000 on internet advertising alone + city-wide billboards ($500,000/mo). They now own 80% of doctors within their specialty. Last year they spent $7.8Million on advertising.

From the remaining profitable practices in the region 1% refused to join and have started to promote their reputations 5 weeks ago.

Total cost for the 40 independent specialists - $60,000. $1500 per practice.

Result: Wait time for appointments increased from 24 hours to 3 weeks. 100% of new patients coming in are asked “how did you hear about us” – 80% answered: patient review site.

Case Study #6 – Continue Saving $

We helped 3 of the 40 independent doctors put together advertising campaigns based on their growing reputations.

One of the 3 doctors shared with us his old Google Adwords campaign result: 1 new out-of-network patient for every $700 spent.

His new conversion rate combining reputation platform and Google Ads – 1 new patient for every $300 spent. (Each patient on average brings $3500 profit to the practice. Savings per month - $4500)

Customer Service

Customer service at a hospital or practice is EVERYONE’s job, including the doctor

Even coming in late once can affect a doctor’s and the practice’s reputation

Streamline Customer Service at Hospital / Practice

Training per doctor about our technology – 2 minutes

Asking a patient “Please write about your experience as it’s very important for me” … 3 seconds.

A doctor showing his patient that he cares about their experience … Priceless.

Earning thousands of positive patient experiences, controlling poor experiences, and having an extra accountability process streamlined?
