Healthcare
We have worked with
hospitals, health insurance companies, individual practices, and drug
testing companies for over fifteen years, conducting research with
physician’s, employers, employees, and the general public. Some of our
work has been directed towards public policy related to healthcare, while
other work has focused on patient satisfaction, database issues related to
marketing, and determining critical factors that influence successful entry
into a market.
AMIL Health Care International, Inc.
Problem: The client, a multi-billion
dollar company based in Brazil, was entering an
already crowded market in Austin, only its second U.S. site, and it needed to
structure its product and marketing approach in a way that specifically met the
needs of key audiences.
Solution: We conducted a series of
focus groups to determine perceptions and attitudes toward managed care among
doctors, employer groups, and insurance agents.
Results: The client used the
research to position itself in the Austin market and to develop its overall
strategy, which led to a successful launch.

Columbia Hospitals
Problem: The client needed a means to reliably measure increases in hospital revenues brought
about by their numerous and diverse marketing programs. In addition,
they were offering employer discounts for hospital use under occupational
programs and discounts to members of hospital seniors membership programs and
needed a means to report results to employers and verify senior's program
memberships.
Solution: We developed matching
algorithms that would allow for reliable automated and semi-automated
matching of patient billings to
program participants and developed modular software applications around each of
the marketing program types.
Results: Working with the client over
a four year period we developed applications to manage physician referral
programs, membership programs, event scheduling, and occupational medicine. Over
this period, the client implemented our application in all of the
forty-three of their hospitals, from Clearwater, Florida to San Diego,
California.
