-- As healthcare continues to undergo rapid technological change, the need for robust marketing strategies that connect patients with the care they need is more important than ever. Sprout Consulting Group, led by Chief Strategist Ursula Douglas, works with healthcare leaders to develop and implement strategies that not only improve visibility but also align with organizational goals and enhance the overall patient experience. Each engagement brings together strategists, creatives, and digital technologists to deliver solutions that combine vision with the precision required in today’s healthcare environment.
Aligning Digital and Traditional Strategies for Greater Impact
With a background in both corporate and entrepreneurial healthcare settings, Douglas brings nearly 15 years of experience to her role. She has worked in partnership with leading medical and research institutions, including Morehouse School of Medicine in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, providing her with unique insights into the challenges and opportunities within the healthcare sector. Sprout’s digital transformation model integrates both traditional and digital marketing approaches, ensuring that healthcare organizations can engage with patients more effectively across all touchpoints.
“Digital transformation is not just about technology,” Douglas said. “It is about aligning mission and communication to make care more connected, accessible, and human. When marketing, communications, and strategy work in harmony, it becomes a catalyst for meaningful transformation within the organization.”
As healthcare systems adapt to a more digital environment, the demand for transparent, effective communication has never been greater. Studies show that while 70% of patients now prefer digital communication for healthcare services, fewer than half feel their needs are being adequately met. This disconnect presents a significant opportunity for healthcare organizations to evolve their marketing strategies and bridge the gap between patient expectations and their actual experiences. Sprout Consulting Group partners with healthcare organizations to address this challenge by integrating clarity, insight, and personalization into both internal and external communication strategies.
Why Patient Experience Is Critical to Healthcare Marketing
Sprout Consulting Group’s approach emphasizes the critical role patient experience plays in driving successful marketing outcomes. Research from Deloitte indicates that health systems with excellent patient experience scores see up to 50% higher net margins compared to those with lower scores. Furthermore, studies consistently show that positive patient experiences lead to better adherence to care plans, improved health outcomes, and higher levels of patient satisfaction.
This connection between experience and outcomes underscores why healthcare marketing must evolve beyond awareness to become a driver of engagement, clarity, and alignment.
Sprout’s strategy helps healthcare organizations focus not just on attracting patients but also on unifying their internal and external efforts so that education and outreach become catalysts for lasting impact. The firm’s work extends upstream to help leadership teams align internal stakeholders, ensuring that marketing and communication strategies directly support broader business objectives and patient-centered outcomes. By integrating marketing with organizational strategy, Sprout ensures that every touchpoint contributes to the goal of improved patient care.
“Our clients partner with us because we understand the intersection of marketing, strategy, and healthcare delivery,” said Douglas. “By aligning internal strategy with external engagement, we help organizations create stronger, more meaningful connections with patients.”
A Comprehensive Approach to Healthcare Marketing
Sprout Consulting Group sets itself apart by combining deep industry expertise with strategic insight. Purpose-built for collaboration, Sprout integrates expertise in healthcare strategy, communications, and digital technology to deliver solutions that balance creativity, compliance, and impact.
Their holistic approach integrates branding, digital strategy, and patient experience alignment, ensuring that all marketing strategies are not only impactful but also sustainable. In recent years, the company has collaborated with a range of healthcare and public health organizations, helping them navigate the complexities of digital marketing while staying true to their mission and values. Sprout’s clients include a wide range of stakeholders, including healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and public health institutions.
“We take a comprehensive approach to every engagement,” said Douglas. “Our goal is to help healthcare organizations communicate effectively with patients, whether through storytelling, digital campaigns, or internal messaging. The result is an integrated marketing strategy that amplifies the organization’s mission and improves overall outcomes.”
Redefining Healthcare Marketing’s Future
As the digital landscape continues to evolve, Sprout Consulting Group is at the forefront of transforming healthcare marketing. By focusing on alignment, engagement, and measurable outcomes, the firm is helping healthcare organizations rethink how they engage with patients and communities.
“Marketing should never be seen as a separate or secondary function,” said Douglas. “It is not just about producing more content or utilizing more channels. True transformation happens when marketing is fully integrated with the organization’s mission to strengthen stakeholder alignment and patient engagement.”
Sprout’s model bridges creative strategy with operational depth, empowering healthcare organizations to connect innovation with empathy and create impact that endures as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve.
