What can your team do to welcome new members to KP?
It's good practice to let new members know you appreciate them, and that was the purpose behind the "Love at First Visit" campaign in Colorado. New member accounts were flagged in KP HealthConnect, but staffers also placed a yellow sticker on a new patient's card during visits to ID them more readily. The UBT held training for staff and physicians, helped new members with directions at the facility, called about first appointments, and created refrigerator magnets with important phone numbers. First visit satisfaction scores went from 57 to 67 percent.
Making new members feel welcome is part of making them loyal to KP. See how your team can help in membership retention.
