Physician engagement serves as a vital component of healthcare marketing — essential to building trust, establishing credibility, and promoting products and services. Effective physician engagement requires a strategic approach that is consistent with your overall mission, brand, and organizational direction.
Not too many years ago, thanks to regulatory considerations, physician engagement was limited to Doctors’ Day celebrations. For the most past, physician practices operated completely separately from hospitals.
Today, things are vastly different. Employed physicians, advances in digital technology, competitive pressures, and a focus on patient-centered care all mean that your medical staff and health enterprise must be fully aligned — working together to ensure that marketing efforts are effective.
Watch this webinar for a lively panel discussion with three experts from organizations that won awards in the Best Digital Physician Engagement category of the 2023 eHealthcare Leadership Awards.
They'll share their thoughts on what drives their physician engagement strategy — and provide insights on the specific initiatives that were recognized by judges!
You’ll learn:
- How your organization can implement a physician engagement effort that is aligned with your strategic marketing goals
- The physician engagement tactics our panelists have found most effective — from the tried and true to the new and cutting edge
- How you can make physician involvement mutually beneficial
- Details of their winning physician engagement initiatives
- And much more!
