SCP's Strategy

SCP’s patient engagement team helped the facility improve scheduling, reduce nonclinical errors, and increase referrals by:

Educating local employers on employee healthcare needs by embracing more health screenings and wellness activities
Empowering the hospital to cost-effectively coordinate and facilitate employer-sponsored employee health needs and encounters
Building a new process for ensuring information accuracy in scheduling, registration, billing, and visit reporting
Providing consistent, detailed reports about where the facility was missing out on referrals, and strategies for capturing referrals in the future

Partnership Overview

This 25-bed facility is one of only two critical access hospitals in its state. Due to its small size and consistent volume, the facility was struggling to maintain operational processes and reach its target patients. Realizing they were unable to make the necessary changes alone, this hospital partnered with SCP Health (SCP) to update its methods and expand its market.
