Healthcare engagement may seem complex at times, as marketers consider a myriad of online and offline strategies that can increase service line referrals and market share.

Service line focus for acute patient-centered services continues to be an effective way to engage bothconsumer and physician customers, and manage costs and outcomes. Our assessment of the approach toservice lines is that hospitals structure a service line around an integrated set of services that cross overmultiple departments. The primary benefits of service lines are increased profit and productivity whiledelivering an improved quality of care and increased patient satisfaction. Many hospitals with service lineshave administrative directors or vice presidents and clinical directors. Service line assessment interviewsshow that the key benefits are achieving both operational efficiency and accountability for all aspects ofthe service line including patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and financial performance. The mostsuccessful services lines are led by Cardiovascular, Orthopedics, and Oncology, as shown in Figure 3.These three services lines are also the most successful in the Thomson Reuters service line assessmentinterviews with hospitals and health systems.

New Media plans start out ineffective and take little time to create (i.e. setting up a blog or Facebook page). Over time, asknowledge increases, and more time is spent shaping the plan (i.e. advertising, search engine optimization), it becomesmore ineffective and more costly (i.e. social media buys).Simultaneously, Traditional Media plans start out ineffective, but take more time and cost to create (i.e. producing acommercial or print ad, then placing it). Over time, as knowledge increases, and more time is spent shaping the plan(i.e. determining appropriate placement with the greatest returns), it becomes more ineffective and less costly(i.e. learning curve theory, production costs remain relatively constant).Once an organization has effective New Media and Traditional Media plans, the two intersect creating the optimalmedia mix. It is at this magical point effectiveness increases without additional time and cost, and the boost is viral.
