Summary

Atlantic Health wanted to create a system-wide sports medicine program, but was challenged by fragmented services, practices and visions as to what a sports program should be. Katava Marketing provided a structured approach and was asked to not only develop a strategy and vision for the sports medicine program, but also help to implement it. Katava Marketing worked directly with the CEO, the head of the Sports Medicine Program and other senior executives to achieve the desired goals.

Notable Impacts:

Unified Sports Medicine Program
The sports medicine providers at Atlantic Health bought into the bigger vision and started to establish system wide processes and referral patterns for the benefit of the patients and Atlantic Health. Revenue from cross referrals and revenue for downstream services significantly improved.
Statewide Recognition
By the end of this engagement, Atlantic Health did not only have a well defined Sports Medicine program, but is now recognized as one of the leading sports medicine programs in NJ.
Corporate Sponsorship with NY Jets
Part of the initial program implementation was the selection of the NY Jets Partnership. The partnership became a very successful program, both for the NY Jets as well as for Atlantic Health and is still a very important part of the Atlantic Health Sports program today.

Challenges & Goals:

The biggest challenge was the fragmented approach and lack of vision for a sports medicine program. As a result, there was very little willingness across the providers to support such a program. Katave utilized its structured approach and methodology and a fully integrated change management approach to get a buyin for the vision across the sports medicine providers, which was a crucial success factor for the engagement.

Other specialties copied our approach and implemented similar programs for their specialties.
