WORKSHOP: Develop a Digital Marketing and Networking Strategy
to Drive Referrals
Recognizing the importance of social media is the first step in taking your health system into the digital world. It is crucial for health systems to understand
which platform and method to distribute information is most effective at engaging physicians and patients in an effort to increase referrals. Creating a
“social” physician at your hospital or health system improves patient care, makes physicians easier to relate to, and increases their engagement and
participation. During this interactive workshop, attendees discuss different social media platforms and how they can be used to drive referrals and increase
growth of your health system.
•	 Discover top methods for utilizing social media between health system and practice groups
•	 Understand the best tactics for activating referring providers with their patients utilizing social networks
•	 Share innovative methods to manage social content and learn how best to deploy information to your physician base
•	 Discuss how to determine the ROI of your digital engagement efforts

IMPROVE COMMUNICATION AND ENGAGEMENT TACTICS TO

1:15 pm –
2:00 pm Discuss How Provider and Patient Communications Converge to
Create One Universal Health Campaign
Marketers reach out to patients to acquire and retain. Physician liaisons and health sales reach out to providers to educate and engage.
What would happen if both of these worlds came together? What would happen if we could combine both levels of outreach into one patient pathway?
•	 Review case studies on how health care consumerism is closing the gap between patient and providers
•	 Discuss how to pull together health care marketing and sales messages into a singular form of outreach
•	 Learn how to plan, sequence, and deliver the right communications to both providers and patients simultaneously

2:00 pm –
2:45 pm Case Study: Discover What Referring Providers Value and Want from
Physician Liaisons and Your Network
It is becomingly increasingly difficult to gain access to referring providers in their offices. As health care becomes infinitely more complex, providers have
more responsibilities and less desire for face time with liaisons. This lack of communication makes it hard for liaisons to refer patients to an office that they
can’t even get into. In this session, hear how one organization has successfully overcome significant access hurdles.
•	 Discuss how to become a welcome guest in a referring providers’ office
•	 Discover how to improve your access tactics based on provider input
•	 Learn how to gain provider’s trust
•	 Understand how to take negative referring provider feedback and use it grow service lines and retain business

3:30 pm Build Valuable Relationships with Other Key Decisions Makers
As liaisons know, gaining access to referring providers is the biggest challenge faced in this role, and it is only going to become increasingly more difficult.
Liaisons must adapt and find other avenues to get providers to hear what they have to say. This means building relationships with other key decision makers
such as Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Referral Coordinators, Medical Directors, and others.
•	 Hear how to effectively approach key decision makers
•	 Discover innovative relationship building tactics
•	 Learn how values vary from person to person and how you must focus your efforts individually

11:45 am –
12:30 pm Use Analytics-driven Intelligence to Target Physicians
Hospitals need to arm liaisons with data to more effectively engage physicians critical to their strategies. Pharmaceutical companies have been doing
exactly that for decades. But today, many physician liaisons don’t have that same foundational data necessary to target key physicians effectively, or more
importantly, to evolve physician engagement given the rapidly changing health care market. In this session, discuss:
•	 Success stories illustrating how to leverage analytics to support multiple strategic initiatives, from referral leakage and service line growth, to
population targeting and value-based strategies
•	 Strategies for making data actionable and meaningful to all parts of the organization, from liaisons to analysts to executives
•	 Data and analytics to consider in support of near-term and longer-term organizational goals

In this session, discuss: • Success stories illustrating how to leverage analytics to support multiple strategic initiatives, from referral leakage and service line growth, to population targeting and value-based strategies • Strategies for making data actionable and meaningful to all parts of the organization, from liaisons to analysts to executives • Data and analytics to consider in support of near-term and longer-term organizational goals Amanda Prail Vice President, Product Management, Payer and Provider Solutions IMS Health
