Strategic Planning and Site Placements
Picking the right location is a critical challenge for any hospital or health system looking to grow strategically through a new site placement. Coffee shops provide a simple, yet appropriate, illustration. You have likely seen a hip, new coffee shop that serves great drinks close their doors after six months because it was in the wrong geographic location and couldn’t generate enough business. Perhaps visitors didn’t bother going because it was too far “off the beaten path.” Or there was always a line of cars waiting to turn into the parking lot so everyone who visited ended up frustrated or late to their final destination because of the congestion (and thus, never returned). Either way, you hopefully see the point: whether it’s coffee or medical care, people tend to make purchase decisions based off of location and convenience.

The pressure to compete and expand market share is at an all-time high for hospitals and health systems. Providers in many markets are feeling the impact of reduced patient payments, competitor maneuvers, and new market entrants. Looking for new opportunities for service area growth, hospitals and health systems often rely on their instincts, local knowledge, or attempt to draw guidance from raw market data. Too often, these tactics lead to frustrating ends—growth plans that prove unsuccessful and year-end budget frustration.
New, trackable strategies must be enacted for the growth and change that is needed. Consideration of these five key areas will allow your hospital or health system to identify the best potential opportunities within a service area and guide your team toward more productive growth strategy and planning.

As learned in the first and second installments of this blog series, it can be quite useful to use Esri's Tapestry Segmentation to target specific populations that your hospital, system, or physicians serve. Tapestry Segmentation was designed specifically to understand your customer’s lifestyle choices – what they buy and how they spend their free time. This information gives Stratasan, and our clients, insights that help identify facility’s patient types, optimal sites for hospitals, physician offices, FSERS, and urgent care locations. We use Tapestry Segmentation to help our clients get higher response rates, focus on the most profitable growth opportunities, and invest their resources in the best ways possible.
