Your hospital website has evolved far beyond its origins, it’s now the digital front door to your entire health system. But between AI hype, vendor promises, and the shift to composable architecture, many healthcare organizations struggle to connect the dots between available technologies and actual patient needs. The result? Fragmented digital experiences that fail to deliver on their promise.

Join us on Wednesday, September 3, for a candid conversation with healthcare digital leaders who are successfully bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical patient needs. We’ll cut through the buzzwords to focus on what’s actually working, what’s worth investing in, and how to develop the strategic framework that’s often missing when implementing new website technologies.

Join us as our panelists explore how you can:

  • Develop a strategic approach to website transformation that aligns technology choices with organizational goals and patient needs
  • Make smart platform decisions by understanding the real differences between major platforms and when composable solutions make sense
  • Build flexible foundations using composable architecture to future-proof your investment and enable rapid adaptation
  • Implement AI thoughtfully with clear use cases that enhance rather than complicate the patient experience, from intelligent search to automated scheduling to personalized content delivery
  • Improve findability and discoverability through advanced SEO, schema markup, and optimizing for how patients now search using generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI overviews
  • Create governance models that balance innovation with security, compliance, and the need for strategic oversight

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.
