The situation

A healthcare software business's clinical champions had struggled to move evaluations through technology review and purchasing.

The work focused on accepted institutional software contracts, qualified institutional evaluations, evaluation-to-contract conversion. Implementation ownership was readiness, not completed deployment. Commercial adoption did not establish clinical effectiveness or patient outcomes.

Which activity helped accepted institutional software contracts, and what happened at the next decision?

The commercial question

What we did

Three moves, in order.

  • Sharpen

    Define the commercial outcome

    The priority was accepted institutional software contracts. The team used qualified institutional evaluations and evaluation-to-contract conversion to assess the next stages, with a clear distinction between activity and accepted outcomes.

  • Author / Architect

    Build the path to the next decision

    We built a shared workflow narrative, created technical decision content and assigned an institutional opportunity owner.

  • Generate / Gain

    Review progress against consistent measures

    The team compared accepted institutional software contracts, qualified institutional evaluations, evaluation-to-contract conversion across the agreed reporting periods. Implementation ownership was readiness, not completed deployment. Commercial adoption did not establish clinical effectiveness or patient outcomes.

What changed

Accepted institutional software contracts moved from 5 to 8. Qualified institutional evaluations moved from 20 to 25. Evaluation-to-contract conversion moved from 25% to 32%.

Implementation ownership was readiness, not completed deployment. Commercial adoption did not establish clinical effectiveness or patient outcomes.

We calculated relative changes from the baseline and comparison values and reported conversion or retention changes in percentage points. We rounded displayed changes to one decimal place where needed. The figures did not establish that marketing caused the outcome.

Measurement window: Two comparable nine-month institutional software opportunity cohorts.
