Is your Patient Referral Program working?

By Dr. Sandi Eveleth Leave a Comment

One of the best ways to attract ideal patient prospects to your practice is to make sure you have a comprehensive and systematized referral program in place.

Is your patient referral program working

When asked, many practice owners will tell me they have a successful referral program in place…

However, when pressed for details, their program typically looks something like this:

  • Patients are encouraged (verbally or via email correspondences or website content) to recommend their friends and family,
  • There is no tracking system in place for the referring or referred patients,
  • There is no recognition system in place for the patients that referred others,
  • There is no active outreach for other doctors or providers to be encouraged to refer patients,
  • Typical professional referrals come ONLY from other physicians; other sources are non-existent,
  • There is no tracking system in place for the referring physicians or other professional sources,
  • There is no recognition system in place for the referring physicians or other professional sources

I’ve created this infographic of 6 steps for you to ramp up your Patient Referral Program.
