Three key strategies include implementing a data-driven physician communication campaign spearheaded by the Chief Physician Executive; encouraging physicians to participate in engagement events where they interact with each other and consumers in a meaningful way; and building a platform to allow for actionable feedback.

When Dayton Children’s Hospital had almost completed a more than $200 million dollar expansion and revitalization project, the marketing team was tasked with turning four opening events on two campuses into something more powerful than just another ribbon cutting. The resulting plan used each event as a tent pole to elevate the hospital’s brand, showcase services, spotlight providers and highlight community commitment.

TMCA went from the 50th percentile to Top 10 nationally in terms of physician engagement and alignment, with double digit increases on the satisfaction survey, physician turnover decreased by 5%, with first year physician turnover cut in half, and quality improved with a significant decline in Hospital Acquired Infection. TMCA saw measurable results on decreasing referral leakage, improving referral development, and gaining access for their Physician Relations Manager (PRM) team to meet with key physicians.

AFMS hosted the “What’s Your Why” Campaign to raise awareness about the transformation effort and to inspire Airmen to join the journey by telling their “why” — their personal reason for dedication to high reliability health care. The presentation overviews the methods, results, and lessons learned in launching a campaign that pilots purpose-driven work and boosts engagement and productivity.

The VCU Health communications team pioneered utilizing Facebook Live, incorporating it into their strategy soon after it launched.

It is hard for a consumer to pick up a postcard from their mailbox and attend a surgical weight loss seminar right away. Good marketers are thinking about call to actions "CTAs" that are easy to complete, are shareable and sticky!

In this session, attendees will see how we did just that for South Nassau Communities Hospital, a not-for-profit hospital on Long Island. They will gain first-hand insights on merging big data with hospital data and client-specific research to predict market trends, increase market share and provide patient value.

As economic reform and regulatory forces accelerate physician group practice formation, health systems must bring diverse personalities and priorities together. Imagine groups that combine academic and community-based physicians, span facilities large and small (sometimes across state lines), and merge differing views about compensation and the role of advanced practice providers.
