Hospital or hospital-ity?

The radical change in patient expectations is both an opportunity and a challenge…business as usual or rapid reinvention.

An unprecedented shift in the way hospitals do business is changing healthcare. Experts warn that hospitals that keep operating according to “business as usual” will have a NEGATIVE 15.8% margin by 2021.

Medicare fined a record 50% of hospitals and underpaid by billions of dollars. Result? An easy 25% of hospitals will be seeking mergers in the next few years.

The Speed of Change is Astounding. Even in an Industry Used to Change

While many industries have remained stable, the hospital industry has undergone rapid change over the last 50 years. We’ve seen vaccines, pacemakers, and robotics but that is nothing… get ready for 3D organ printers, stem cells and more. The next wave of innovation will happen fast and is accompanied by a massive crush of patients and high expectations.

The Boomer Crush Has Begun

From 2011 through 2030, we’ll see a massive 73% increase in the number of Americans over the age of 65. Scientists warn that Baby Boomers are more likely to have higher rates of hypertension, higher cholesterol, obesity and diabetes than any previous generation. This unprecedented influx of work is only one aspect of the challenge for hospitals. Just as they have at every phase of their lives, Boomers are re-writing the rules and creating either extreme pain or supreme success for businesses, and hospitals are no exception. Baby Boomers are nothing like the generations that came before them; they demand customized services and creature comforts. “Self-fulfillment” and “self-realization” were the buzz words of their youth and have carried over into retirement. They have been dubbed the “Me generation.”

Healing and Happiness, My Way

Boomers want it their way, and for good reason. Increased stress leads to longer hospital stays, more postoperative complications, and higher rates of re-hospitalization, resulting in lower reimbursements. Distressed patients are 400% more likely to be categorized in the delayed healing group. The good news? The death rate is lower at hospitals where patient satisfaction scores are high. Hospitals with high satisfaction levels experience almost 33% higher patient volume.

84% of Patients Research Hospitals Before Making a Choice

Adopt a “Hospital” ity Mentality

Factors that make the biggest difference: Staff attitude, wifi access, convenience, patient education, access to personal items. It is estimated that 66% of all adults suffer from nomophobia – “no-mobile-phone phobia”. A single deviation by hospitals in the number of amenities raises a hospital’s demand by 39%. Price is the biggest driver of purchasing decisions in all other industries, yet it is actually the least important to hospital patients. Patients are more likely to choose a hospital or doctor because of personal experience. Personal experience is 250% more important to them than it is in other industries.

Perception IS Reality

Today’s patients expect great care and search for nonclinical factors like convenience, customer service and staff attitudes. Three out of five patients say that hospital reputation is “very important” when choosing a hospital, mattering more than the doctors that practice there or even safety records. It is not necessarily how well you perform that matters-it is how well the market THINKS you performed! By shifting to a client-focused business and marketing strategy, hospitals can reduce costs, attract patients and stay ahead of the competition.

Consider the changes in hospitals in the last 60 years. Disease, equipment, research, facilities, staff and breakthroughs have certainly evolved and all look considerably different than they did in 1955. Did you know that 33% of all patients choose hospitals based on word of mouth advice from friends and family and 41% of consumers said social media affected their choice of physician or hospital! On average, customers now tell 15 people about their good experiences and 24 people about their bad ones. The average American patient profile has changed. Patients are aging Baby Boomers who demand greater care, attention and customization. They want less hospital and more hospitality. Patient health will always be a priority, but studies have found that the little things make a big difference in patient satisfaction and therefore profitability.

UL has given our safes an anti-theft endorsement, which is a prestigious achievement to earn from a company that operates in 46 countries, with 64 laboratories, and operates as one of the safety testers for OSHA.
