The Write Strategy
MyPTNS Patient Education Program
Situation
PTNS therapy requires patients to come in for 12 weekly appointments. This translates to an investment of time and money. Additionally most patients don't begin to see improvement in their symptoms until after 6 treatments. This results in patients who give up prematurely and providers who have to constantly reassure patients that their results are typical.
Solution
I developed an email-based education program with a weekly emails to patients based on their progression through PTNS therapy. These emails contain information about how patients can maximize their therapy results and what they can expect each step of the way. This program was set-up using HubSpot workflows. So, emails are sent at a predetermined interval.
Role
This program was truly my brain child and I have been involved in every aspect. Highlights include:
Collaborating with my communications team on the name and visual brand
Writing the education emails (and corresponding handouts) which included soliciting feedback from key providers to ensure the accuracy of information
Creating landing page and sign-up form
Developing and delivering training to the sales force
Writing a blog post and social messages to promote the MyPTNS program
Outcomes
60-80% email open rate
Providers, patients and the sales force have all indicated that they find this program valuable.
Utilization continues to increase
