From Ad Spend to Patient Encounters: How Epic-Using Health Systems Are Closing the Loop on Marketing ROI

Virtual 1pm - 2.30pm ET

June 17, 2026

Healthcare marketing leaders are under more pressure than ever to prove that what they do moves the business.

CFOs want ROI. Service line leaders want demonstrable patient volume.

And yet, in most health systems, marketing's reporting stops at the top of the funnel — clicks, sessions, form fills — with no credible way to tie campaigns to actual revenue, show which service lines are being fed, or prove that the cost of acquiring a patient is going down.

The disconnect between what marketing spends and what the business can see is becoming impossible to ignore.

You'll leave with:

A clearer picture of where peer health systems are on the journey from pixel removal to Epic-connected attribution

Practical patterns for getting compliance, privacy, and IT to say yes

A grounded view of what's possible when ad platforms optimize  on real patient conversions instead of form fills

Freshpaint

Healthcare marketing has changed. The expectations are higher, budgets are tighter, and the platforms marketers rely on are less transparent every year. At the same time, privacy isn’t optional in healthcare. It’s the baseline. Freshpaint helps healthcare marketing teams grow in this new reality by turning privacy-safe first-party data into better performance and clearer measurement. We give teams control over how data is collected and shared, connect marketing activity to real outcomes like attended appointments and enrollments, and make cross-channel impact easier to prove to leadership and finance. Because today, winning isn’t about getting more data. It’s about making faster, defensible decisions with the data you can trust.
