Hospital growth calculator
Move the sliders to build a CFO-friendly growth bridge. The number comes from capacity, leakage, conversion, payor-mix and net-new demand — not vague marketing optimism.
Eight inputs from operations, billing and commercial terms. The calculator separates your current marketing / business-development budget from the BPO-I success-fee model.
Your current 3% marketing / BD budget equals ~$600K annually.
At 3% of verified uplift, BPO-I earns ~$125K and the hospital retains ~$4.0M of the expected uplift.
Illustrative estimate for starting a conversation, not a guarantee. The defensible core draws on demand, capacity and enquiry flow the hospital already owns; net-new demand and payor-mix gains are treated separately. A hospital already near full capacity should focus on margin, payor-mix and service-line economics rather than volume. Final figures require hospital data validation during discovery.
Fill clinics, theatres and imaging that already run below capacity. This is usually the most defensible first lever.
Recover patients who entered the pathway but dropped out before consultation, procedure, admission or follow-up.
Improve enquiry response, triage, booking, follow-up and patient navigation so paid demand becomes care activity.
Same or similar volume, better economics — steer toward more viable payors, packages and service lines.
New patients from catchment expansion and digital reach. Important, but not the only source of the 20%++ thesis.
