  • The modus operandi of the healthcare business has changed in the last decade. There is immense competition to maintain patient loyalty, and every single healthcare brand is trying to be on top. 

    But the ones that win the race are those who value and take a proper account of certain factors that drive successful patient loyalty. 

    The findings primarily suggest three main factors that drive patient loyalty. Let’s discuss those three factors that improve patient loyalty in detail.      

    1. Quality treatment and service

    The quality of treating the patients is quintessential to establish a brand value and goodwill among the clients. 

    When it is about health issues, patients want to be assured that the healthcare practice has the required expertise to provide better treatment. The patients want to consult a physician who is an expert and can treat them successfully with better results. 

    Now the question may arise on how patients evaluate the expertise and quality of patient loyalty treatment? Well, the answer lies in the result. The more you are capable of curing your patients’ issues, the more you will earn loyalty.

     2. Reputation and Goodwill

    Every year billions of dollars are spent on various marketing and advertisement efforts. But in the healthcare domain, power pact marketing is not the only driver of loyalty. A significantly lower percentage of people suggests that advertisements have influenced them to choose a specific healthcare practice.

    So, you must be wondering how people select a healthcare brand for their health-related treatments. Here, word of mouth is the critical factor that influences patient decision to choose a brand. 

    The majority of the patients indicated that they selected a healthcare organization based on the information they receive from friends, family members, physicians, and testimonials from other patients.

    Good reviews and ratings matter to receive testimonials in today’s competitive world. Based on these testimonials, an extensive section of potential patients chooses a brand. 

    Advertisement certainly has space, but that is just to widespread a particular brand and reach out to the people and let them know about your practice. 

    3. Time Frame

    Time is a crucial factor for any patient. For example – patients consult a physician and take medication to solve health issues. 

    If it takes a lot of time, this may raise doubts in the patients’ minds regarding the practice’s expertise. Taking extra time without a valid reason can also raise concerns in the patients’ minds. Thus, the treatment that patients receive depends much on time spent with a physician. 

    Also, how the healthcare team’s concerned members are establishing a connection with the patient’s also counts. patients do not mind waiting, but they will undoubtedly evaluate how the healthcare practice utilizes the time. 

    The way patients perceive your service may vary from time to time. It can also change depending on various situations. Thus, healthcare organizations need to listen to the voice of their patients and act accordingly. 

    The healthcare industry’s evolving nature might determine the top factors that can drive patient loyalty and increase retention. However, the underlying theme remains somewhat the same. 

    Whether you are operating in the healthcare domain or any other service industry, you must have a deeper understanding of what gets people talking positively. It will enable a great window of the word of mouth marketing. 

    Healthcare organizations need to understand the dynamic factors that drive patient loyalty and retention.
