PracticeForces Shares How ROI in Healthcare Is Measured

The healthcare industry handles billions of dollars annually, and providers must treat their businesses appropriately to see their share of that money. Return-on-investment, or ROI, is one of the most significant revenue cycle management healthcare challenges. So what exactly is ROI in healthcare, and how does one measure it?

PracticeForces is an expert on medical billing and RCM. They use that expertise to describe return on investment in healthcare and the four ways to measure it in a healthcare setting.

What is ROI?

In business, ROI measures how much profit you make when you offer a product or service. This measurement compares the cost of providing that product or service against the money gained from sales. Companies almost always present ROI in the form of a percentage.

ROI also measures the success of a business and its products. If one has a high ROI, their business is doing well because the profit of the service is markedly higher than the financial investment they put in. Healthcare businesses are like any other, so they need to consider ROI and its financial impact.

How Is It Measured?

Measuring ROI is vital for doctors. Without proper measurement, how would doctors be able to quantify their profits and donate money to research? There are four main ways to measure ROI in healthcare, despite the associated challenges inherent to the business:

Revenue Metrics

Revenue metrics are objective measurements of the difference between expenditures and revenue. These metrics measure the number of new appointments, patient lifespans, cost/charge per appointment, and the number of patients per day to provide profit data. These are the most straightforward means of measuring ROI in healthcare.

Communication Metrics

Communication metrics measure virtual and face-to-face communication between patients and an office. These assess time costs for things like patient satisfaction and the number of patient interactions in the office. They measure the investment of time vs. patient care costs.

Contact Center Metrics

These metrics measure the service and satisfaction of patients during phone calls. They account for contact resolution, the number of requests, hold time, call time, and the utilization rates of each person on the phone.

Operational KPIs

Operational KPIs are key performance indicators for each patient's level of care. These show wait times, follow-up rates, and staff-to-patient ratios. You want to ensure that your performance is on par with the costs incurred.

ROI in healthcare is an essential consideration for physicians. Owners need to make enough on treatment so their business can profit and grow while providing affordable health services and offering cost savings.

Unfortunately, it can be challenging for some to understand that ROI, typically the concern of large corporations, also applies to doctor's offices. PracticeForces works to help doctors improve their ROI in healthcare and provides intuitive methods for patients to pay them. They understand healthcare's unique challenges and are experts in the billing side of the field of healthcare.
