That being said, the recruitment process will take time and effort, but the result will be new physicians who fulfill community needs, succeed in their practice, and stay long term. You can improve your physician recruitment strategy in the following ways:

Physician Patterns and Loyalty
By Jackie DeGroat, Tony Camarata, and Rebecca Groner
In case you missed the earlier announcement, Physician Pathway is now comprised of two tools: Physician Loyalty and Physician Patterns. Here is a quick overview of what each tool offers:
- Physician Patterns shows you where physician referral patterns and any leakage is occurring.
- Physician Loyalty shows you where physicians are treating their cases.
Together, these tools provide focused intelligence around physician and provider relationships and uncover physician behavior in your market. Your team will spend less time mining data and more time strategizing.
Important note: For existing users, Physician Pathway has been renamed to Physician Patterns. It’s the same product, just with a new name!

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.

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.
