State of the Industry
Briefing on Health Care Market Change and Donor Implications

  • How are hospitals and health systems strategizing amid potential political shifts and other market uncertainties?

Transforming Patient-Centered Fundraising

  • What grateful patient program elements can be effectively replicated into outpatient arenas, and when are completely new approaches warranted?
  • Which outpatient settings are the most fruitful sources of prospects, and which are most worthy of time and resource investment?
  • How should clinical leaders and frontline providers be involved (and which ones)? What engagement tactics work?
  • How should resources be appropriately scoped and staged, particularly in relation to current inpatient-focused initiatives?
  • How can development leaders contribute to shaping care coordination strategy?
Day two, 8:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (local time)

Engaging New Donor Segments
Best Practices for Cultivating Unconventional Prospects

  • What potential untapped donor segments may have affinity for health systems’ new strategic priorities?
  • What messages resonate with these groups: Innovation? Social change? Community?
  • What approaches show promise: Donor clubs? Online tactics? Attention from mid-level giving officers?
  • How might our stewardship mechanisms need to evolve and adapt?
