Multi-Location Healthcare Playbook

The Multi-Location Healthcare Playbook

A network of 12 centres is not 1 market with 12 addresses. It is 12 markets, each about 20 minutes wide, and in most networks nobody has drawn a single one of them. The media plan is built on the city, the budget is set at brand level, and the numbers that would show the mistake sit in an operations system marketing never opens.

Introduction

2 facts decide almost everything about acquisition for a network, and neither lives in a marketing tool. The first is the catchment: how far a patient will actually travel for this service, at the hour they travel for it. The second is capacity: how many chairs, machine hours, consulting slots or theatre days that location has, by shift. Get those wrong and no amount of creative or bidding repairs the outcome, because you are buying demand you cannot serve, in places that were never yours.

Marketing and growth leads at hospital groups, clinic chains, diagnostics networks, dialysis and day-care chains and multi-site clinician practices in India. It assumes you run more than 1 site and that your reporting rolls them up. No particular CRM, no mapping software and no new budget is assumed. Every worked figure here is illustrative and labelled as such. The full argument behind this playbook runs through our healthcare growth series, and in particular Pain in the Kidney. How we apply it commercially sits on our diagnostics and pathology labs page.

1.01. The catchment is the market unit
Travel time at the hour the service runs, and the pin code map nobody draws
2.02. Capacity is the binding constraint
Chairs, shifts and machine hours, and the location whose right budget is 0
3.03. Cannibalisation, before the lease
The overlap arithmetic, and the split that stays invisible for 3 quarters
4.04. The listing is the campaign
Map profiles, hours, tracking numbers, and review velocity as a metric
5.05. A page per location
Why 1 Services page cannot rank for a locality, and the duplicate trap
6.06. Reporting that survives a network
Never blend, routing as a field, and the 60 day build

What makes this playbook valuable

1.Written for operators, not for a pitch
No agency credentials section. Every part of it is something a marketing lead and an operations lead can act on together.
2.Built on mechanisms, not on statistics
No borrowed industry numbers. Where arithmetic appears it is labelled illustrative, so you can substitute your own.
3.India specific
Written for the regulatory, channel and catchment realities of Indian healthcare rather than translated from a US template.
4.Links back to the working detail
Every claim connects to a longer piece on the site, so you can go deeper on the section that applies to you.
