From Patient Data to Personalized Outreach: How AccuConnect Delivers Targeted Healthcare Marketing at Scale

How Hospitals Are Using Personalized Patient Marketing to Drive Preventive Care and Device ROI

Hospitals invest millions of dollars in diagnostic equipment — from CAT scanners to dialysis facilities — and every unfilled appointment represents direct, measurable lost ROI. To protect that investment and drive patient engagement, hospitals must proactively communicate their capabilities for time-sensitive services like mammograms and dialysis to the right patients at the right time, through the right channels. A leading provider of healthcare marketing and medical consulting services engaged AccuConnect to design a HIPAA-conscious, data-driven patient communication solution that leverages patient demographics, geography, and health history to deliver highly personalized, multi-channel outreach across both print and digital channels—helping hospitals increase preventive care awareness, improve patient acquisition, and drive measurable ROI for their health system clients.

A leading provider of medical consulting services recently engaged Tecra to design a process that would effectively use the information it has compiled about patients, outcomes, and profitability to enable hospitals to generate specific targeted messages to new and existing customers.

Key Requirements: Variable Data, Multi-Channel Delivery, and HIPAA-Compliant Patient Data Security

Variable Data

Highly personalized messaging based on patient geography, demographics and health conditions.

Multi-Chanel

Use both print and digital channels to disseminate the communications and track the responses.

Data Security

Protect the confidential patient data and use it to proactively engage with patients and increase the awareness of preventive care.

How AccuConnect Powers Targeted, Personalized Patient Communications Across Print and Digital Channels

Tecra’s team worked closely with all business stakeholders to design a comprehensive solution that achieved everyone’s goals. Starting with AccuConnect, the premier platform for cross media marketing, Tecra quickly developed a system customized to their exact requirements, minimizing both costs and time to market.

Member hospitals now use the system to deliver relevant messages to patients sorted by demographics like age, gender and medical history. Campaigns are highly rules-based, with built-in business logic ensuring 100% compliance with hospital affiliation rules — so every recipient receives messages only from their affiliated local hospital, eliminating the risk of miscommunication or regulatory exposure across the entire patient population.

Content is collaboratively designed in a secure online application, using templates created by the hospital’s marketing agency that preserve brand identity while enabling areas of personalization. AccuConnect connects the templates to target lists and patient databases, then delivers the final output to the XMPie composition engine — unifying print and digital delivery under a single campaign workflow across 2 channels, with cross-channel response tracking built in from the start.
