Digital Presence Review – A Data Use Case for Hospitals

Hosptal Entryway - Hospital Use Case for Digital Presence ReviewI’ve written before about reviewing your organization at a data layer before anything else. I wanted to provide a simple use case to give a real world example.

Given my background in healthcare marketing, we’ll start with a hospital. We’ll map out the data coming in and out, as well as the players involved. We’re not going to talk about systems or channels yet at all. And I’m not going to split out emergency and ongoing care, just for simplicity in the exercise.

This is a Monday first pass, so there will be additions. Your ideas and additions are welcome too.

Data Review – Hospital Use Case

Audiences Involved:

  • Patients
  • Visitors
  • Hospital Doctors
  • Caregivers
  • Hospital Staff
  • Insurers
  • Customer Service
  • EMS
  • Physician Groups/Attending Physicians
  • Mission/Charity Related depending on affiliation
  • Community Benefit/Outreach
  • Volunteers

Access Points:

  • Parking
  • Entrance/Info Booth
  • Rooms
  • Care Stations
  • Wandering staff/wandering visitors
  • Facilities – Cleanliness, etc.
  • Pharmacy/Retail/Cafeteria experiences
  • Events – on and off-site
  • News/Media/PR
  • Digital Presence – Search, Social, Local, Mobile

Data In:

  • EMS/Incoming
  • Parking
  • Reviews & Search (What consumers see before they enter the hospital)
  • Care Data (Monitoring, background, ongoing)
  • Access Data (who is where in the facility)
  • Controls/Regulatory Data (ie prescriptions, procedures, outcomes, etc.)
  • Insurer/Providers
  • Payer Status/Billings
  • EHR
  • Digital History including Marketing – outside EHR – email, physical, etc.
  • Agencies/Affiliations – Veterans/Medicare,
  • Pharmacy/Food/Commisary Sales
  • Gift Shop/General Store Sales

Data Out:

  • Wait times for care/services
  • Parking/Payment
  • Billings
  • Reviews
  • Insurer Reimbursement/Consumer Responsibility
  • Physician Group/Performance
  • Data for ACA
  • EHR
  • Follow-Up/Coordination with Outside Practice and their systems
  • Marketing/PR and Advertising
  • Social & Mobile Presence/Utility

That’s the first pass through. Now I can take this into Excel and start to map it out more, highlighting common elements.

What I’m looking for are the places of overlap, either audience, data or both. What are the opportunities to tie data together for greater utility?

What did I miss? I know I did and I’m sure I will add to it over the course of the week. Your thoughts and input are critical to helping us evolve these ideas to benefit all organizations in this age of digital disruption.

Avoiding the Hindenburg Effect or keeping fires small so they don’t bring down the ship

If you aren't building trust with your customers, you're setting yourself up for explosive results

Whenever I start training a new project or account manager, they are given one simple golden rule to follow – “Manage expectations first.” I was reminded of this when reading a great article from a peer, Greg Gerik, about what companies want agencies to know. Honesty was one of his key points. Why does the [...]

The Much Needed Age of Context

Feeding the Elf – Syncing In-Store and Online

Retailers that find the right digital and in-store mix will be dancing all the way to the bank

Prepping early for the holidays, a Perceptintite recently ran into the following situation. All depictions are based on real world events.

Dropping by the brick and mortar “b+n=oble” store yielded this quandary: Priced online for a sure to sell [...]
