eHealthcare Strategy & Trends Webinar Offers Best Practices for Provider Data Management

Provider Data Management: The Foundation for a Supercharged Marketing Strategy

A new eHealthcare Strategy & Trends webinar for healthcare marketers and strategists

Thursday  |  September 12, 2024   |  2 p.m. Eastern

Patients benefit — and so does your organization — when you manage provider data properly. Accurate and complete clinical taxonomy makes website searches for patient care more efficient, leading to more appointments. In this webinar, you’ll learn how an organization with over 300 medical practice locations and thousands of providers across three states built the baseline data structure necessary to expand access to care and achieve the health system’s business objectives.


Your Presenters:

  • Stephanie Scotto, MHA, Senior Manager, Web Operations VillageMD, Summit Health, CityMD
  • Rachelle Montano, MS, RD, MBA, Vice President, Clinical Strategy, Loyal

Just as building a house requires a strong foundation, so does successful implementation of any healthcare marketing strategy. Organizing and accessing comprehensive and accurate information about complex health system providers and locations is required to support the structural integrity of healthcare marketing goals, strategies, and business objectives. When you manage provider data properly, including accurate and complete clinical taxonomy to make searches more efficient, patients benefit — and so does your organization. 

Healthcare systems require the right foundational tools for managing the complex data about their numerous locations, providers, and insurance carriers, so patients can get seamless, unified, and consistent results across their digital healthcare journey. 

Much like needing a clear and accurate blueprint for a successful build, clinical taxonomy is a key part of the necessary data management foundation to improve patient access as well as achieve business objectives and marketing goals. This enriches and enhances provider data, providing better search capabilities and results, which guides and connects patients to the most appropriate care for their needs. 

Summit Health in the New York Metro Area, brought all its provider data into one platform, enriched it with clinical taxonomy, and now has the solid foundation and structure to easily and quickly keep it up to date. This has enabled the Summit Health team to give patients a better experience and achieve specific business goals. 

Join us for a free webinar on Thursday September 12 at 2 p.m. ET to discover how Summit Health improved provider data management and how it enables more patients to find and access care — and how you can too.
You’ll learn:

  • Why having all provider data in a single, unified platform, is the key to a powerful marketing strategy
  • How clinical taxonomy can enhance and connect patients to the most appropriate care provider
  • Best practice takeaways from Summit Health for other health systems considering leveling-up their provider data management tools to achieve business objectives.

Many healthcare organizations are grappling with how to future-proof their websites in the aftermath of the pandemic and in light of the recent HHS guidance regarding HIPAA compliance for websites. Key questions to consider include:

Does your website provide a consumer-focused experience?
Is the technology HIPAA-compliant and adaptable?
Does your website empower users to engage, with tools like self-scheduling, symptom-checking, and finding a doctor by location?

If not, you may need a major site redesign. But what’s the best approach? Should you start from scratch and re-platform? Or can you replace parts of your stack with solutions that better meet your organization’s needs? Is a composable tech stack with interchangeable solutions a better way to ensure your website meets the needs of your organization?

Join us for a free webinar on Thursday April 25 at 2 p.m. ET to hear from a top industry expert who will share how CRM has evolved and discuss best practices that can help your organization take full advantage of state-of-the-art CRM capabilities.

You’ll learn:

  • What the current state of CRM is in healthcare, and why it often falls short.
  • How to structure CRM for enterprise-wide success.
  • Best practices for implementation, governance, and strategy.
  • How to set priorities that align with the strategic plan when launching campaigns.
  • How a CRM can scale communications using real-time data and rules-based automated campaigns.
  • What to consider when choosing a CRM solution.

And much much more!
