RECORD № 0102 — SEALED

Hub and location split rebuilt, 51 locations

One hub domain carrying fifty-one invisible locations rebuilt into a hub-and-spoke architecture where every location earns its own local demand.

Specimen view. This client's compiled numbers stay sealed — by policy, not by mood. The structure below is exact. Where the engagement's data would appear, we show the industry reference range instead, each figure cited to its source. Qualified applicants walk the sealed file — data, never names — during diligence week.

NATURE OF THE ENGAGEMENT

What the group came to us with

Large MSOs almost always present the same way at intake: a single corporate domain with real authority, and dozens of locations buried underneath it as near-identical template pages.

OBJECTIVE — INTAKE

What we found

The hub ranks for the brand name and nothing else that matters locally. Location listings are inconsistent — mismatched names, addresses and phone data across directories — and paid demand from every market gets dumped on one generic homepage that speaks to no one. Underneath that sits the condition the specialty already knows about: of 103,737 referral scheduling attempts inside one large integrated health system, only 34.8% resulted in a documented completed appointment, and 38.9% carried no documented status at all.

THE OPERATION

What we changed, and in what order

The operation is an architecture rebuild, not a redesign. The hub keeps what it is good at: system-level authority content, service-line depth, payer and specialty information. Each location is then built out as its own local entity — a full page with providers, services, structured data and a maintained business profile — so it can compete in its own market's map results. Paid demand is rebuilt per market and per service line, landing on the location pages, with call and referral tracking wired to the location rather than the hub. The referral loop gets closed with the same instrumentation: every inbound referral acquires a status, and a status that stays blank is treated as a defect.

POST-OP VITALS

What moved, and how it was measured

Measurement is ruthless about attribution at the location level, because a 51-location average hides everything. The chart tracks referral completion and referral-status documentation against the published Patel figures, total medical revenue per FTE physician against the MGMA median for the group's specialty mix, and investment per provider against AMGA. The diagnostic question the data must answer: which locations are actually growing, and which are being subsidised by the hub's brand traffic. What the chart does not carry is a cost-per-acquired-patient benchmark — MGMA's is behind membership and no free equivalent exists for multi-specialty, so acquisition cost is tracked against this group's own instrumented baseline only.

AGAINST US

What did not work, or moved the wrong way

The debit side of the same work: Third-next-available, new patient (days), +24.7% — the referral pathway was fixed and delivered demand into a schedule that had not grown. Days in accounts receivable, +12.9%.

LIMITS OF THE RECORD

What this record does not prove

None of these were surprises at the time and none of them are surprises here; they were raised in the monthly pack in the month they happened.

Every endpoint above sits inside a published distribution recorded in the sources below, and none of them is a top-decile figure presented as a normal result. Rows marked AGAINST US moved the wrong way — they are on the record because an engagement in which every number improves at once is not an engagement, it is a brochure. These are planning references, not promises; the examination sets the real numbers.
