Follow that group through scheduling and completion, and record when you last checked outcomes. Compare spending and collections attributable to that same group. Collections received this month for older services should not be treated as revenue from this month\u2019s new marketing.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Cost per inquiry:<\/strong> acquisition spending \u00f7 inquiries.<\/li><li><strong>Cost per completed outcome:<\/strong> acquisition spending \u00f7 completed first visits or completed exams.<\/li><li><strong>Scheduling rate:<\/strong> scheduled outcomes \u00f7 qualified inquiries or qualified exam requests.<\/li><li><strong>Completion rate:<\/strong> completed outcomes \u00f7 scheduled outcomes.<\/li><li><strong>Scenario collections:<\/strong> completed outcomes \u00d7 average net collections per outcome.<\/li><li><strong>Contribution after acquisition:<\/strong> scenario collections \u2212 direct delivery costs \u2212 acquisition spending.<\/li><li><strong>Contribution return on acquisition spend:<\/strong> contribution after acquisition \u00f7 acquisition spending \u00d7 100.<\/li><\/ul><p>A scheduled outcome that is not yet complete may be upcoming, cancelled, or missed. The completion rate alone does not establish a no-show rate. Use disposition records and a suitable observation period before interpreting the gap.<\/p><p>This contribution measure excludes general overhead, taxes, financing, and timing differences unless separately accounted for. It is not net profit or a cash-flow forecast. If your collection estimate is uncertain, focus on acquisition costs and update the scenario as actual collections become available.<\/p>\n<h2>Two fictional examples with different units<\/h2><div class=\"tm-scroll\"><table><thead><tr><th>Scenario<\/th><th>Assumptions<\/th><th>Illustrative result<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Clinic: first visits<\/td><td>$12,000 spend; 120 inquiries; 90 qualified; 70 scheduled; 56 completed first visits; $250 collected and $100 direct cost per first visit<\/td><td>$214.29 per acquired patient completing a first visit; \u2212$3,600 contribution; \u221230.0% contribution return<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Imaging: exams<\/td><td>$18,000 spend; 150 exam requests; 120 qualified; 100 scheduled; 80 completed exams; $600 collected and $250 direct cost per exam<\/td><td>$225.00 per completed exam; $10,000 contribution; 55.6% contribution return<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><p>These examples are invented solely to demonstrate the calculation. They are not client results, pricing recommendations, or benchmarks. The clinic example does not include later visits; a negative first-visit contribution does not establish the lifetime value of a patient. If you model a longer period, keep that analysis separate and define the additional costs and collections.<\/p>\n<h2>Use imaging mode with a consistent request unit<\/h2><p>For imaging, record one requested exam opportunity at each stage. A request for two exams represents two opportunities, not one inquiry followed by two completed outcomes. Deduplicate reschedules so they do not inflate scheduled volume. If your system tracks people rather than exam requests, reconcile the units before using this model.<\/p><p>For programs focused on business relationships, attribute aggregate exam opportunities using your organization\u2019s agreed method. Do not enter the size of a contact list as inquiry volume or assume every completed exam was generated by outreach. This resource helps evaluate business measurement; it does not evaluate clinical need or appropriateness.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"appointment-gaps\">Where appointments get lost<\/h2><p>If qualified inquiries are not becoming completed appointments, identify the stage and reason before increasing marketing spending. Review these four areas using aggregate reports from your scheduling system.<\/p><h3>Scheduling: interest without a booking<\/h3><p>Look at qualified inquiries or exam requests that never reach a scheduled date. Separate unresolved scheduling information, unavailable appointment times, location mismatch, and contacts that are still awaiting a response. Assign an owner and next action to unresolved requests instead of treating every unbooked inquiry as a marketing failure.<\/p><h3>Cancellations: understand the disposition<\/h3><p>Record cancellations separately from missed appointments and future appointments. Review the reasons your team actually documents; do not infer them from a low completion rate. This distinction helps you see whether the issue involves availability, coordination, or a change in the person's plans.<\/p><h3>Rescheduling: keep one opportunity connected<\/h3><p>Connect a replacement booking to the original inquiry or exam request. Count the same opportunity once rather than treating each new date as another acquired patient or exam. Give unresolved rescheduling requests an owner so they remain visible until completed or closed.<\/p><h3>Completion tracking: give outcomes time to mature<\/h3><p>Separate completed, cancelled, missed, and still-pending appointments. Compare groups with similar time to complete scheduling and services. For clinics, track unique new patients completing their first visit; for imaging, track individual completed exams. A recently scheduled appointment should not be counted as a lost opportunity simply because it has not happened yet.<\/p><p>For each gap, record the affected stage, documented reason, responsible team member, and review date. Keep patient-level details in approved systems and use aggregate counts in this calculator. The goal is to understand the operational cause behind the number, then choose a specific improvement.<\/p><h2>Build a measurable medical marketing plan<\/h2><p>Explore Trendi\u2019s <a href=\"\/medical\/\">medical marketing services<\/a> or our dedicated <a href=\"\/medical\/injury-clinic-imaging-center-marketing\/\">injury clinic and imaging center marketing services<\/a>.
