Topics & Benefits
Access to a broader patient pool:
By establishing an international patient office, your hospital will attract patients from different parts of the world. This increases patient diversity and allows the hospital to offer a broader range of medical services.
Increased revenue:
International patients are willing to pay for high-quality medical care. This helps increase hospital revenues and provide financial resources for improvements and expansion.
Strengthening the reputation:
If a hospital provides internationally recognized medical services, it will enhance the reputation of the facility. This also leads to national patients feeling more attracted.
Improved medical expertise:
By caring for international patients, hospitals can attract medical staff with a broader range of experience and skills. This contributes to the improvement of medical expertise.
Cultural Competence:
An international patient office trains hospital staff in cultural sensitivity and communication. This allows for better care of patients from different cultural backgrounds – including those from within the country.
Increased international networking:
Caring for international patients can help foster international partnerships and collaborations with other healthcare facilities around the world. This improves access to medical expertise and research opportunities.
Improved patient experience:
International patients often need additional support when traveling to a foreign country. An international patient office provides services such as arranging accommodations, translation services, and cultural accompaniment to make the patient experience more comfortable.
Increasing competitiveness:
Hospitals that appeal to international patients can differentiate themselves in a competitive healthcare market and gain a competitive advantage.
Contribution to medical research and education:
Caring for international patients can also expand a hospital’s databases and research capabilities, which will contribute to advances in medical research and education.
Promotion of medical tourism:
An international patient office helps boost medical tourism by targeting patients traveling abroad for medical treatment. This can be an important source of revenue for cities and towns.
