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