How it works
Follow the patient from source to collected revenue.
The method
How RevSource works
Map your patient acquisition sources.
Connect sources to appointments and treatment starts.
Connect treatment starts to collected revenue.
Find where patients drop out.
Identify the highest-priority revenue opportunities.
Build the growth plan.
The patient journey
One chain, from patient source to collected revenue.
Each stage keeps the acquisition source attached. That is what lets the revenue at the end be traced back to what produced it.
Patient journey
Source held throughout
What happens here
Someone searches for the treatment, finds a listing, or is referred by a patient you already have.
Where it leaks
Nothing records which of those it was, so every later number is unattributable.
The shift
From Marketing Performance to Treatment Revenue Performance.
Old frame
Marketing Performance
“Is our marketing generating enough leads and appointments?”
- Clicks
- Calls
- Forms
- Leads
- Appointments
- Reporting often stops here.
New frame
Treatment Revenue Performance
“Which patient sources are producing treatment revenue, where are opportunities being lost, and where should we invest next?”
- Patient Source
- Inquiry
- Appointment
- Show
- Treatment Start
- Collected Revenue
The practice sees the whole path.
- A lead is not revenue.
- A booked appointment is not revenue.
- Even a patient who shows up does not always start treatment.
Before and after
What changes for the owner
Before
- Reports focus on activity metrics.
- The owner is unsure which sources produce treatment starts.
- Patient drop-off is hard to see.
- Growth decisions rely on incomplete information.
After
- The owner knows which sources produce treatment starts and collected revenue.
- Patient drop-off becomes visible.
- Conversion and follow-up gaps are easier to prioritize.
- The next acquisition decision is based on evidence.
Where it leaks
Where are patient opportunities getting lost?
Drop-off points
- First contact to scheduling
- Scheduling to appointment attendance
- Appointment to consultation
- Consultation to treatment acceptance
- Treatment acceptance to treatment start
What the gaps cost
- Wasted acquisition spend
- Missed patient opportunities
- Weak follow-up
- Empty chair time
- Lower treatment starts
- Staff time spent reviewing activity instead of revenue
