Imaging centres live and die on referral volumes and scan utilisation rates. CareThanks gives radiology centres, imaging equipment companies, and diagnostic networks the reward infrastructure to drive referrals, reward scan completion, and incentivise the distribution chain.

The Challenge

Imaging centres have expensive infrastructure sitting underutilised. GPs refer wherever they have a relationship. Patients miss follow-up scans they were told were critical.

The three levers that drive imaging centre revenue — GP referral volumes, patient scan completion rates, and equipment utilisation — are all behaviour-dependent. Structured reward programs move all three metrics simultaneously.

1
GP referral volumes are relationship-driven, not infrastructure-driven
GPs refer to imaging centres they trust and have relationships with. Without structured engagement, referral volume is highly vulnerable to competitor outreach and personal relationships.
2
Patients miss follow-up scans at alarming rates
Patients referred for follow-up imaging frequently do not attend. There is no infrastructure to remind, incentivise, and track completion of recommended imaging studies.
3
Equipment utilisation has high fixed costs
MRI, CT, and PET scanners carry enormous capital and running costs. Any hour of downtime is pure loss. Referral programs that fill the schedule are directly revenue-generative.
4
Imaging equipment distributors have no loyalty structure
Equipment distributors and radiologist champions who specify your platform are commercially valuable — and structurally unrewarded.

Use Cases

What organisations
actually deploy us for.

Practical campaigns designed for real healthcare workflows — not generic reward templates.

01

GP Referral Reward Programs

Build structured relationships with referring GPs through a compliant recognition program — rewarding consistent referral volumes, participation in educational events, and long-term partnership.

Campaign flow
→GP registered as a referring partner in program portal
→Monthly referral volume tracked against programme threshold
→Milestone reached — CPD credit, conference invite, or recognition reward issued
→Annual top referrer recognition event and enhanced reward
Channels
PortalEmailCPD CreditsConference Invitation
For
GPsFamily physiciansSpecialist consultantsClinic medical directors
Expected outcome
GP referral volume increases average 34% among program participants versus non-enrolled equivalent cohorts. Referral loyalty increases measurably against competing centres.
02

Patient Scan Completion Campaigns

Patients referred for follow-up imaging often do not attend their appointment. Reward confirmed scan attendance — reducing the costly gap between clinical recommendation and actual imaging completion.

Campaign flow
→Referral received; patient automatically enrolled in completion campaign
→Appointment confirmation sent with reward preview: "Attend and earn a reward"
→Patient attends scan; attendance confirmed at reception via QR or code
→Reward issued instantly via SMS or WhatsApp — retail voucher or digital gift card
Channels

Expected outcome
Scan completion rates improve from 61% to 84% among reward-enrolled referral cohorts. Follow-up scan no-show rate drops 38%.
03

Corporate Health Screening Packages

Imaging centres offering corporate health screening packages to employers use CareThanks to drive employee uptake — rewarding scan completion and generating the participation rates that make corporate contracts renewable.

Campaign flow
→Corporate client provides employee list; campaign configured by department
→Employees receive invitation with reward offer for completing screening package
→Scan completed; reward issued same day to digital wallet or voucher
→Corporate client receives completion report with participation data

Expected outcome
Corporate screening participation rates reach 88%+ versus 40% industry average for non-incentivised programs. Renewal rate for corporate contracts increases.
04

Radiologist & Clinician CPD Programs

Imaging equipment manufacturers use CareThanks to reward radiologists and radiographers who complete platform training, attend educational events, and participate in clinical excellence programs.

Campaign flow

→Training module completion triggers incremental Reward Units
→Accreditation milestone achieved — recognition certificate and reward issued
→Annual CPD renewal tracked and rewarded automatically

05

Equipment Distributor Incentives

Radiology and imaging equipment distributors who consistently specify your platform and achieve sales targets deserve structured commercial recognition — beyond the standard margin structure.

Campaign flow
→Distributor enrolled in performance program with quarterly targets
→Equipment placement and sales milestones tracked via CRM integration

Imaging centres running cancer screening, cardiac assessment, and preventive imaging programs use CareThanks to drive uptake — rewarding patients for completing scans that are clinically recommended but frequently deferred.

Campaign flow
→Target patient cohort identified from GP or HMO referral lists
→Campaign launched: "Get your screening scan — earn a reward for attending"
→Patient books and attends — confirmed by reception or QR scan
→Reward issued; GP referrer updated on completion

Common Questions

What teams
ask us first.

QHow does CareThanks ensure GP referral programs are compliant with healthcare regulations?
GP reward programs are structured as professional recognition programs — CPD credits, educational events, and professional development rewards. They are not linked to individual patient referral transactions. Full compliance documentation is available.
QCan patient scan completion rewards be integrated with our booking system?
Yes. CareThanks connects to booking and reception systems via API or webhook. Confirmed attendance triggers reward issuance automatically — no manual processing required.
QWhat reward values drive the best patient scan completion rates?
Modest retail vouchers or digital gift cards (equivalent to £10–£30 or local market equivalent) show the highest completion rate lift. The reward signals value of attendance rather than compensating for travel cost.
QCan we run corporate screening programs and GP referral programs simultaneously from one platform?
Yes. CareThanks supports multiple concurrent campaign types in the same account, each with distinct eligibility rules, reward catalogues, and reporting dashboards.
QHow quickly can a patient completion campaign go live?
Patient-facing digital campaigns (SMS, WhatsApp) can launch within 3–5 days of onboarding. GP portal programs are typically live within 5–7 business days.
QDoes this work for diagnostic networks with multiple imaging sites?
Yes. Multi-site configurations allow patients to attend any network site while earning and redeeming rewards. Analytics show attendance patterns across the full site network.
