Hip Replacement Value by Tapestry
Senior Styles Rustic Outposts Cozy Country Living Other
Consumerism of Healthcare and the unprecedented emphasis on hospital branding and a premium on consumer loyalty
Loyalty is built during the entire continuum of care, not just when the patient is sick
Consumer side – HDHP, so many choices between hospitals, surgery centers, Walgreens, Urgent Care
Hospital Side – data is becoming smart because of analytics
For the next hour we are going to drill down into how hospitals can leverage Data and their digital assets to drive demand and revenue.
Let’s start with the foundation
- What does your service area look like?
Are there clusters?
Event location
Target by zip code
How old is the population you serve?
Inform the types of services the population will need based on life stage
Will help shape your messaging and tactics – Stephen
How much money?
Higher income = commercial insurance, wellness classes, volunteers, fundraising
Lower income = outreach about making small changes that will make a big difference
Tapestry Segmentation = an accurate, detailed description of residential areas
67 different segments based on demographics, socio-economic indicators
Describes interests, types of jobs, entertainment avenues, how long they are willing to commute
Helps you hone your message
- Capacity is important from an operational standpoint
Cost
Quality
Convenience
Consume 15.5 hours of media a day – equivalent to 9 dvds worth of information
Started out with college kids, then went to businesses now to healthcare – with
Some of it is from our friends, some of it is from total strangers who we think are our friends
Women aged 25 – 60 are the CEO’s of their families and make 85% of the healthcare decisions
Healthgrades
How does that translate to the digital health consumer?
-
Great information – how do we monetize?
Align our goals to corporate goals
Define other
- Rustic Outposts, Cozy Country Living and Senior Styles fit into the demographic of a hip replacement patient
Change picture
-Drive home convenience, home town feel, friendliness of staff and providers
Hospital website
Content-website with patient portal
Ability to message patients wellness information – like exercise programs and nutrition information
Branded app where they can access information from their portal on their phone
Received five-star rating from Healthgrades on Patient Experience – top 15% of hospitals based on a 27 question patient survey
Has positive feedback on Facebook
Leverage a consumer relationship management tool – salesforce
Responsive plug-in like Marketo to enable “choose your own adventure” digital experiences for consumers based upon messages and images clicked on (calcium, load bearing exercise)
Use information from esri to inform messaging
Do an A/B test with 10% of the market to test messaging
Went with Option A
- A double-digit open rate for an email is good, so the fact they exceeded it consistently indicates the messages are on-target
- Text messages are a bit under the industry average of 80% -- we would expect this because heavy text users skew to the younger age and some people might not be comfortable with text or with giving their cell phone numbers out
- Homepage impressions were in line with the national average of about 1 in 1000 people clicking on banner ads.
Banner ads on the local news outlet were a little higher due to optimization
There were about 120,000 adults in the PSA on facebook – this click through rate is in-line with the national average of 0.5-1%
- Females accounted for about 70% of responses, which we would expect as females make 85% of the decisions related to healthcare in the US
