Internal Marketing For Physical Therapists – The Idea:
Bad Internal Marketing = Practice Killer
Powerful Internal Marketing System = Revenue Generating Machine
Without a good internal marketing system, most independent private practitioners have little or no control over the new patient experience.
For example, before prospective patients know much about your clinic or how it may compare to another, they are routinely dumped onto hold and hammered with insurance questions. If that isn’t enough to encourage them to book someplace else, what happens when they arrive? More often than not, they’re greeted at the counter with a clipboard, and asked to fill out forms with all the information they already provided you on the phone.
And what about the waiting room? Typically, ugly signs about office policies dominate, and magazine racks are filled with dog-eared reading materials from 1986.
I know that description is a bit over the top and your practice is not that bad, but it paints a clear picture, don’t you think?
Why do most health care providers overlook the importance of managing the complete patient experience from the first contact through discharge?
Most practitioners have “learned” internal marketing from watching what other providers do. Those examples have probably followed an institutional health care business model; the focus is on claims processing, not the patient-client experience. We’ve all come to expect a more “institutional” experience, so it’s no wonder most independent private practitioners draw the conclusion that that’s how it should be done!
Independent private practitioners need to adopt a different model – a marketing model. When done right, internal marketing improves the entire patient experience and drives incremental revenue.
