Why Grateful Patient Engagement is More Powerful than Revenue

As digital becomes more and more of a focus in hospitals and health systems, it is time to find new ways to connect digitally with recently discharged patients through grateful patient programs. These digital programs are designed to introduce patients to the organization’s mission, values, and community, with the ultimate goal of building long-term relationships that lead to future support. However, to truly understand the effectiveness of these initiatives, we often get asked about the return on investment (ROI) of this type of email campaign. Here at Doing Good Digital, when we build grateful patient programs, we emphasize the importance of tracking engagement as a factor that’s often even more meaningful than revenue.
