Updating your healthcare business model
> Is your healthcare business model adapted for the coming year?
The healthcare industry has undergone several changes in recent months. Many health and medical care centers have had to adapt to new requirements, adjust the ways in which they provide their services and restructure their organization.
As 2021 draws to a close, it is a good time to review the business model of your health center or institution and evaluate how profitable it is being and how you can update it with a view to resuming its course of scalability.
Redefining your value proposition
It is possible that during this time, you have implemented improvements in technology and that is something to keep and continue to deepen. However, only the application of technology to your processes is not a guarantee of success, this must also be accompanied by a strategic look that puts at the center the needs of your patients that may not be being met.
What are the most demanded specialties in your health center? What other instances of medical care may be required in addition to consultations? Can you develop actions or prevention proposals from your center or institution of value that serve patients? These are questions that help to identify whether the value proposition currently being offered to patients can be strategically improved to improve positioning and build patient loyalty.
Experience-based product and service design
Truly effective digital health solutions are those that are designed with a focus on end users: patients, caregivers and service providers.
We know that these digital solutions or processes to which technology is applied to improve them is not only for the use of patients but also for medical personnel and general staff. Maybe during these months of changes and adjustments, your services were readapted to the needs of the context, medical staff and patients. Now is a good time to review those changes with a focus on your users. A brief survey of end users could provide indispensable information to think about how to improve these services or products, so that the changes implemented in a particular context are now fixed and part of the proposal of your health center or institution. The more personalized they are, the better.
Are there any processes left without applied technology?
This is also a good time to make a general review of the structure of your organization: the synergy between different departments, the flow of information and how many processes were left without any type of update or change. Leveling the technology used in the processes of each area of your health center or institution is fundamental to give solidity to your business model and to be able to make strategic projections that are clearer and more concise.
