Editor's Notes
Sports Medicine Outreach- aka Athletic event coverage
Committee will define the types of programs that initiate a patient visit to create downstream revenue.
St. Vincent Sports Medicine Center: In 2003
Direct revenue return: 22% (of total annual expenditures to cover labor costs and supplies)
Downstream revenue accounted for 72% of expenses
94% Return on expenses
Counting “earned media”-(value of print or air space if purchased), total revenues exceeded program’s expenses.
