Many hospitals are investing with the oft-cited statistic in mind that women make 80% of a family's healthcare decisions. A happy mother, they say, can fuel growth in other service lines by sticking around for pediatric care or referring her parents for cardiovascular care or returning later in life for bone and joint services.
Some hospitals are capitalizing on women's influence on these other services by broadening their women’s health service line to include much more than obstetrics. Women's health is becoming a cross-departmental service line that distinguishes clinical gender differences in many areas, including heart care, orthopedics, and oncology. That approach is the future of the service line.
