Webinar on Reducing Hospital Outmigration, Competing with Brand Names to be Moderated by Aegis Health Group and DHG Healthcare


Losing customers is always top of mind for any business, and hospitals are not immune to this phenomenon. Yet when the topic of patient outmigration comes up, often there is a lack of understanding about why patients leave and about effective strategies that can be used to address retention.

A complimentary webinar hosted by Aegis Health Group and DHG Healthcare explores how hospitals can successfully stem outmigration and its impact on the bottom line in a competitive marketplace. Webinar participants will hear firsthand from hospital executives who are using various strategies to reduce outmigration and to increase retention throughout the care continuum.

The hour-long webinar, "Outmigration - Competing with Brand Names," begins at 1:00 pm EDT/ 12:00 pm CDT (News - Alert) on Thursday, September 29. Participants must pre-register at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3087122263891791108.

"Outmigration affects nearly all providers in some fashion," says co-moderator Phil Suiter, President and CEO of Aegis Health Group. "Whether it is the perception of 'bigger is better,' referral patterns by physicians, imaging, directed contracting, access or other factors, providers must understand how to address market share that is shifting away from them to their competitors located in the same market or elsewhere."

Hospital leaders from across the nation that will share their strategies to curb outmigation include:



  • Pat Board, President & CEO, Union Health System - Terre Haute, Indiana
  • Vicki Dallmann-Papke, Director, ProHealth Works & Population Health Management, ProHealth Care - Waukesha, Wisconsin
  • Aaron Lewis, VP Strategic Growth, RCCH Healthcare Partners - Brentwood, Tennessee

"We are honored to have an esteemed panel of hospital leaders who will share their firsthand knowledge and successes regarding outmigration," said co-moderator Kevin Locke, Partner, DHG Healthcare. "Healthcare industry trends impacting outmigration will be highlighted as well, including payer and employer contracting, mergers and acquisitions, provider partnerships and increased consumerism."

Participants in the webinar will gain an understanding of the following topics:


  • Using physician network development and employer relationship management as a means to curb outmigration
  • Strategies and specific approaches utilized by physician specialists and local employers
  • Potential ways of leveraging IT platforms and analytic capabilities to identify outmigration patterns
