Importance of Converting Referrals to New Patients

Converting referrals to new patients is crucial for the success of a physical therapy practice. By setting up markers and checkpoints during phone calls, clinics can increase the number of scheduled patients. It is important to make more than one attempt to contact referrals, using both phone calls and text messages. Urgency and speed in reaching out to referrals are vital, as delays decrease the likelihood of conversion. Building relationships and taking the time to understand the patient's problem are key steps in converting referrals. Additionally, providing clear instructions about the appointment details, including location and necessary documents, can ensure a smooth transition from referral to new patient.
