Improve your patient journey

The patient journey is a visual map of the numerous paths a patient can take throughout their experience with your clinic. Before patients select a clinic they will research clinics online or ask their friends and family for a referral. Afterwards, they will book an appointment, call for more information, submit a form, or move onto another clinic. Mapping this is important because it provides a big picture view of the process that patients experience, it shows how long the customer journey is, where the exit points are for patients, how and where you can intercept patients in their research phase. Patient journey mapping is important to improving your patients’ experience but it is arduous and complex because patient behaviour is never linear or predictable.

The patient journey involves mapping the following phases:

• Research Phase
• Pre-Experience
• Experience
• Post Experience

To understand the patient journey we ask the following questions:

• Is the brand represented consistently across the patient journey?
• Are there exit points in the journey?
• Where are the upsell opportunities in the journey?
• Is any part of the journey failing?
• Is any part of the journey too long or too complex?
• How can technology decrease pain points in the journey?
• If patients find your business through one channel, how can we dominate that channel in the long-term future?
• How can we dominate all research channels?
• And much more…

Patient-centric marketing

70% of patients will share their positive experiences with others, however, 76% will share their negative experiences with others (Silverline, 2020). Thus, it is important to keep track of where along their journey they are experiencing such negative experiences. It is also important to see where along the patient’s journey your clinic performs best. Patient journey mapping can pinpoint where your bottlenecks are, identify any duplicate steps, and determine how many staff members are involved in each step.Overall, you can adapt your process to be better suited to your patients while decreasing exit points.

The benefits of knowing your patient’s journey

Patient journey mapping provides you with insights into your patient’s experience with your clinic. The clinic benefits by improving communication between staff and practitioners, increasing efficiency, and overseeing the patient experience. The clinic will also be able to strategize where to intercept new patients as soon as they begin to search for a new healthcare clinic. Patient journey mapping will help clinic owners formulate their patient’s experience to be seamless and worthy of positive reviews. Consequently, patient’s will benefit by experiencing a clinic that actively works to reduce the pain points in their journey and makes them feel valued.

Dr. Aaron Binstock

I didn’t have the greatest experience with the first marketing firm I used for my business, which made me hesitant to invest in another one. However, Panel was recommended to me by a friend so I decided to do a video call with Saqib to see what he had to offer. Their specificity and attention to detail is what stood out to me. It’s now been 2 years and counting and we couldn’t be happier with the service from top to bottom. Thank you Panel for helping me grow my business.
