Common Measurement Mistakes
- • Optimizing digital acquisition without tracking downstream show rate and retention
- • Treating portal activation as engagement, when many patients activate and never return
- • Not segmenting outcomes by service line, hiding which specialties are underperforming
Best-Practice Notes
- • Pair acquisition metrics with show-rate and 90-day retention to see the full patient journey
- • Use automated reminders and pre-visit engagement to lift show rates without added headcount
- • Report outcomes data by service line, not just system-wide, for credible payer conversations
