Part I: Customer Intelligence: Building Strong Provider Relationships In a perfect world, hospital leadership would like to have a perfect and trustworthy loyal exclusive one-on-one professional relationship with not only every physician and mid-level provider (collectively Provider) on their medical staff, but also with every healthcare Provider in the entire service area who could potentially refer business to the hospital. In the book “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell, he makes reference to “Dunbar’s number,” a theory stating as humans, we have a cognitive limit as to how many people we can each manage a “social” level relationship with. According to anthropologist Robin Dunbar, "this limit is a direct function of relative neocortex size, and that this, in turn, limits group size ... the limit imposed by neocortical processing capacity is simply on the number of individuals with whom a stable inter-personal relationship can be maintained." This number is approximately 150. If each of us has 25 to 50 or so very deep-rooted relationships such as those with loved ones along with a handful of very close friends, we can only manage another 100 to 125 stable inter-personal relationships until we reach our individual limits, If this theory is valid, how does this impact the ability to reach that ideal state of loyalty and trust?
