Understanding Our Calculations

Our Healthcare Marketing Impact Calculator uses several key metrics to estimate the potential growth and revenue impact of various marketing strategies. Here's how we calculate the results:

Key Metrics

  • New Patients per Month: The number of new patients your practice acquires each month.
  • Average Revenue per Visit: The average amount your practice earns from each patient visit.
  • Average Visits per Patient per Year: How many times a typical patient visits your practice annually.
  • Patient Retention Rate: The percentage of patients who return to your practice within a year.
  • Profit Margin: The percentage of revenue that becomes profit after expenses.

Calculations

  1. Patient Lifetime Value (PLV):

    PLV = Average Revenue per Visit × Average Visits per Year × (1 / (1 - Patient Retention Rate))

    This formula estimates the total revenue a patient generates over their entire relationship with your practice.

  2. Annual New Patients:

    Annual New Patients = New Patients per Month × 12

  3. Yearly Revenue:

    Yearly Revenue = Annual New Patients × Patient Lifetime Value × Number of Clinicians

  4. Yearly Profit:

    Yearly Profit = Yearly Revenue × Profit Margin

Impact of Marketing Strategies

When you apply potential improvements from various marketing strategies, we adjust the relevant metrics by the selected percentage. For example:

  • PPC might increase New Patients per Month and Average Revenue per Visit
  • SEO could boost New Patients per Month and Patient Retention Rate
  • Patient Engagement & Email Marketing strategies may improve Average Visits per Year and Patient Retention Rate

Spotlight on Patient Engagement

Our Patient Engagement strategies heavily leverage email marketing and newsletters. Here's how they can impact your practice:

  • Increased Average Visits per Year: Regular email reminders about check-ups, preventive care, and seasonal health tips can encourage patients to schedule more frequent visits without using PHI.
  • Improved Patient Retention: Newsletters keep your practice top-of-mind, provide valuable health information, and foster a sense of connection, leading to higher retention rates without violating HIPAA regulations.
  • Enhanced Patient Lifetime Value: By combining more frequent visits with higher retention rates, email marketing can significantly increase the overall value each patient brings to your practice over time.

Our email marketing strategies are designed to comply with all healthcare privacy regulations while delivering relevant content to your patients.

Note: These calculations provide estimates based on industry averages and typical results. Actual results may vary based on numerous factors specific to your practice and local market conditions.
