The Data Doesn't Lie: Things Data Will Tell You That Doctors Won't

Posted by Sean Conway on Oct 10, 2016 8:03:37 PM

As a Physician Relations Rep, data is the foundation upon which your entire outreach strategy lives or dies. Without a reliable data source, a trustworthy physician referral tool, and a system for tracking and measuring initiatives, your strategy will lack the full depth of understanding needed to meet your annual growth goals.

The goals of a Physician Relations program are to:

Promote physician engagement in order to grow volume in alignment with the hospital's strategic plan.
Engage and connect physicians to other physicians and to support key hospital services.
Unearth any quality, customer service, or access issues physicians may be experiencing.
