COVID-19 compliance has become one of the number one factors when it comes to hospital referrals.

A recent study done among 7000 patients by a Boston consulting group has found that you can influence up to 50% of patients returning for elective surgery if you certify that your facility is COVID-19 compliant.

To get ahead of the game and focus on getting those hospital referrals, you must start ensuring that your hospital is 100% COVID-19 compliant.

One way to get the word out about your hospital’s COVID-19 compliance is by downloading a certificate that says you are COVID-19 compliant. Learn more about the importance of COVID-19 compliance in your hospital below.

How Does COVID-19 Compliance Impact Hospital Referrals?

Patients want to know that they will be safe when they come into a hospital. Most people are highly fearful about COVID-19. They fear catching it, and they specifically fear going to hospitals, where the chances of contracting COVID-19 are much higher.

By educating managers to lead in the new normal and focus on COVID-19 compliance, we can better engage with our frontline workers and win back every patient.

In addition to COVID-19 compliance, another great way to get hospital referrals and win back patients is to reignite caregiver engagement and unleash their influence in the community - starting with family and friends.
