Patient Access

Patient Access

We define Patient Access broadly as the organizational resources, processes and assets that enable patients to get high quality care and information in a timely and convenient manner. In our experience, improving patient access can drive significant benefits for patients, physicians and systems.

Scheduling and referral process challenges

Based on a recent client survey, we found that 87% of patients want to be seen within 5 days, and 1/3 want to be seen same day. Patients are willing to shop around for healthcare.

Clinical efficiency challenges

Health systems are losing patients to competition because they don’t understand how to establish a strong, loyalty-based relationship with them. As a result, they are leaving millions of dollars on the table due to patient loss. KPMG’s Healthcare Strategy and Patient Access team can help you better understand how to better apply digital and virtual health to your organization. Our leadership discusses how in the video below.

KPMG can help you optimize your current patient access processes and assets enabling patients to get high quality care and information in a timely and convenient manner, while also increasing physician productivity. This also allows for efficient processing, reduced claim denials, and increased revenue for the organization. KPMG has developed strategies to help our clients address these patient access opportunities and maximize growth.
