4 Reasons to Prioritize Strategic Planning Now (And Not In The New Year)
Vice President, Customer Success
One of the things I enjoy most about leading Stratasan’s Customer Success team is that I get to serve our healthcare clients in a variety of ways: as a champion, a cheerleader, a problem solver, and an advisor. In recent weeks, I’ve had a number of conversations about strategic planning and how it’s that time of year again. Surprisingly, I’m hearing that many teams aren’t ready to “get started” yet… much like I’m not quite ready for talk about pumpkin spice lattes, Thanksgiving plans, and holiday lights.
Nevertheless, it’s time. Whether you are a part of a hospital / health system or an ancillary care provider, here are four important reasons you need to prioritize strategic planning today:

At the heart of innovation is the ability to reframe your perspective. Henry Ford once said "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." Often, the question itself limits what you think the possibilities are. If you have an open mind about the possibilities, you maximize your chances of building effective and unexpected solutions.

Why Patient Loss is More than a Calculation of Supply and Demand
By Lee Ann Lambdin and Jackie DeGroat
As you read in a previous blog, a Community Physician and Provider Demand Analysis is essentially a math problem—determine supply, determine demand, and subtract. Your facility’s growth or decline in market share is closely tied to the physicians who are available in your service area. If you don’t have the right number of physicians to support the number of patients in your service area, they will likely go elsewhere to receive care.

A Straightforward Approach to Avoiding Patient Loss
Why Having the Right Number of Physicians is Key to Retaining Your Patients
By Lee Ann Lambdin and Jackie DeGroat
Your facility’s growth or decline in market share is closely tied to the physicians who are available in your service area. If you don’t have the right number of physicians to support the number of patients in your service area, they will likely go elsewhere to receive care.
According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, patient demand is surpassing physician supply. In other words, there are more patients needing care than there are physicians practicing medicine. Hospitals that conduct a community physician and provider demand analysis, sometimes known as a Physician Demand Estimator or Medical Staff Development Planning, will be armed with the right intelligence to effectively recruit for the appropriate specialists needed in their service area.

Tracking Physician Referrals: Why Lengthy Wait Times for Specialist Referrals Should Affect Your Strategy
When patients require specialty care, a primary care physician (PCP), referred to as a “gatekeeper” in the healthcare industry, decides what specialist to refer the patient to. More often than not, patients must wait weeks, sometimes months, before being seen by a specialist. Lengthy wait times create frustration for both PCP’s and patients, worrying the delay will worsen the patient’s condition.
These lengthy wait times can—and should—also drastically affect your physician referral strategy. Tracking physician-to-physician referrals over too short a time period will give you a limited and likely incomplete view of where the physicians in your area are receiving and sending their patients.
