neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: I don't think it applies in this case. Your examples are about building a medical practice. The question is about capturing (finding) patients in order to treat them. See examples in my answer.

agree  Mario Freitas: "Capture" sounds a bit weird, as it looks like they're gonna setup traps to catch their patients, but your references are reliable, and as I mentioned above, I trust your expertise.

Prospect to patient


Explanation:
Just a suggestion. See the example below:

Prospect to patient: how to convert website visitors into loyal patients

Your website serves many purposes. It provides your patients with around-the-clock education about dental health; it increases awareness about the services you offer; and it helps improve efficiencies in the office by reducing calls and streamlining paperwork. But above all, your website’s primary objective should be to convert visitors into loyal patients.
When visitors arrive at your site, you only have a few minutes to make a good first impression and gain their trust. Here are a few tips for turning those first-time visitors into referring patients.

Example sentence(s):
  • Prospect to patient: how to convert website visitors into loyal patients.

find patients


Explanation:
Social Media, Viral Videos Help Researchers Find Patients With Rare Diseases For Clinical Trials
http://www.medicaldaily.com/social-media-viral-videos-help-r...

Overall, rare disease patients use online resources to connect, for support in their diagnoses, to compare treatment notes and to participate in research studies. Physicians and researchers use online connections to find patients and collaborate on treatment plans
http://blog.sermo.com/2014/06/16/how-the-internet-helps-rare...

But patient groups have typically already done the hard work of attracting the relevant patients. When Bartek helped Edison Pharmaceuticals find patients for its latest Phase 2 trial of its drug for Friedreich’s ataxia, it took only two hours and 43 minutes
http://globalgenes.org/patients-help-drug-companies-pass-val...

Before a potential new treatment can be approved, it must be tested in clinical trials. It is often difficult to find patients to volunteer in clinical trials, and rare diseases pose an even greater challenge.
