By electing to broadcast Educate Well Monthly E-Newsletters, your distinctly practice-branded format is seen by CORE constituents: patients, their loved ones, current medical referral sources, prospective medical referral sources, and, for learning purposes, your own team members. All recipients will benefit from consistently gaining knowledge, and with health literacy imperatives, they deserve to know more. If not from you, who? If not now, when?


Like all communications, there is a:

Clearly, your:


  • Practice is the Sender, purposefully deciding what content to deliver, on what frequency.
  • Receivers, internal and external, are cohorts specified above.


What Signals are being sent? 


That you…


Care to share, reputably so, monthly. See value in repetition and recognize most quasi-competitors don’t even show up the 1st time. Reliability signals intention.


Aim to be a trusted subject matter expert about a prevalent range of Better Hearing is Better Healthcare topics. Curated content signals medical relevance.


Holistically coordinate personalized treatment plans with patients’ primary care doctors and other medical specialists. Interdisciplinary collaboration signals advocacy.

How to minimize noise? As you shudder at seeing others’ “low road ads,” let this reinforce your discipline in skipping the $alesy.


By staying intently patient-centered, your optimized Signal-to-Noise Ratio will be well-received. With this high-integrity mindset, monthly Response Data is a logical catalyst to track results and plan outbound call campaigns.


Last week’s volume stated: We Can’t Manage What We Don’t Measure.


We said: “To serve you well, our monthly Open Reports deliver valuable response data. Driven by an Engagement Score algorithm, your contact list is presented in rank order.”


We showed: An excerpt sample to illustrate the point.

Now, let’s look closer at how to benefit from assessing your viewer’s votes. Full disclosure: while most statistics are imperfect, we believe this representative data to be valuably revealing. Individuals ranked highly on list are typically more engaged than people lower on the list. Practices with medium to larger size lists often present 100s of rows of proprietary data. Along these lines, the Return on Investment (ROI) from this data asset can be maximized with diligent follow-up along these lines. Keep in mind, it is by combining this Response Data with your internal information which guides best follow-up protocols.

#1. Start by skimming the Top 25 rows to establish an intuitive feel of highly ranked viewers. Do you recognize some or most of them? Does it make sense these specific folks would be more engaged, or do some surprise you?

 

#2. To make evidence-based follow-up decisions, fill in the next two columns:

  • When was patient’s last visit?
  • What was the clinical reason for their visit?


Strong recommendation: Designate a Team Member to consistently handle this task. Ideally, they will be enthused about their professional growth opportunity to play a leading role with friendly phone calls.

 

#3. Carefully review data summation to prioritize a subset of, for example, a Top 10-15 list. Most times, these will reflect categories such as:

  • Tested not Helped – Recent 30-60 days
  • Tested not Helped – “Been a while”
  • Due for a (X# of years later) Tech Upgrade conversation
  • Surprises… “Oh my gosh, we haven’t seen Mr. xxxx forever”

Getting a feel for Patient Personas in these categories is an essential step towards continuously making conversations more fun and improving efficacy. Based on this profile data, determine an ABC Priority Designation. Of course, start with your “A” listers. Based on experience, the conversational flow goes this way:

We stand ready to coach and role-play. You may wonder what the “cost” is for this type of hands-on helpful support. The answer is: we provide as a complimentary service, with enthusiasm. Why? Because your success is our focus, and we are dedicated to investing in expert training.


As calls are made, notate dates and follow-up tasks. Track responses and new appointments. Learn from the candidate selection process and fine tune contact list for your next group of avid viewers. Practice makes better!
