Customer Data Platforms: A Foundation for Healthcare Change

// Sponsored Post //

Read this CDP Institute white paper sponsored by Healthgrades.

The technology systems used by today’s healthcare organizations capture enormous amounts of consumer data, but tend to be siloed, disconnected from one another and unable to share information. This prevents the consistent, coordinated experience consumers have come to expect in other parts of their life, resulting in dissatisfaction, unnecessary costs, and less desirable health outcomes. Fortunately, Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) have arrived and can create positive change for both health systems and their patients.

In this white paper, you’ll learn how CDPs represent a tremendous opportunity for healthcare organizations to market to consumers, enhance operational efficiencies, and improve the health outcomes of their patients, with the ability to:

• Ingest unstructured and semi-structured sources, refining them so the data can be used by other systems.
• Unify consumer identities from different sources, providing a more complete picture of an individual and storing it for future reference.
• Support predictive modeling, and enhance the process with automated machine learning.
• Coordinate messaging across channels throughout the customer journey.
• Generate personalized messaging in real time.
• Provide up-to-the-moment information about events across channels.

The silos that once bound clinical and behavioral data up to this point — EHRs, lab data, content management systems, and the like — can now largely be eliminated with a variety of integration techniques, most notably using standards-based application programming interfaces (APIs). With APIs, you can feed disparate data sources into a single centralized platform, which, for the purposes of healthcare marketing, means a CRM. There, clinical and behavioral data is meshed with consumer marketing data, crucially enabling organizations to engage with consumers in a more refined, relevant, and personalized way.

The Evolving Patient Experience: Meeting Your Patients Everywhere They Search

Is your health system prepared to meet patients everywhere they’re searching for health information?

The Multiplier Effect of Digital Marketing

// Sponsored Post //

Digital Marketing is changing at breakneck speed, but hospital marketers who combine three emerging technologies will gain outsized results, especially in a highly competitive market.

While retailers have long been able to implement advanced digital marketing techniques, technical and legal restrictions have hampered hospital marketers from gaining the actionable insights that are more readily available in traditional industries.

Marketers know that understanding the patient journey is important. However, activating insights requires synthesizing data across multiple touch points and driving consumers to optimal movement through different pathways.

The Good News? Hospitals Are No Longer Stuck

MedTouch combines three emerging disciplines that, when programmatically coordinated together, radically change the landscape for healthcare marketers:

• Building combinations of data-driven ads at massive scale
• Leveraging hyper-locality to match consumers to your digital geography
• Using predictive attribution to determine appointment behavior

When combined, these techniques become the Multiplier Effect, compounding their value and reinforcing their benefits at a dramatic new scale.

Capturing Tomorrow’s Patient Today

// Sponsored Post //

The healthcare landscape continues to evolve but the importance of the patient remains constant.

As new technology emerges, consumer behavior changes. Patients are no exception. To provide your patients with the best care you need to go beyond what your Electronic Health Record or Patient Portal can provide. There is a valuable opportunity to aid them in their health and wellness goals, and therefore develop strong and long lasting relationships. To do so, you must understand them and address their digital patient experience as part of their overall patient experience.

Based on a new survey of patients and caregivers, this report will help you:

• Understand what the digital patient experience is and how it varies based on age.
• Identify areas for improvement in your patient’s digital experience, specifically in the key 18 – 44 audience.
• Address the PHI concerns for your organization and your patients.
• Demonstrate to senior leadership how the digital touchpoints that are part of the patient experience are a way to develop lifelong relationships with them.

Data for this report was collected via an online survey of more than 1,100 patients who accessed healthcare for themselves or someone else within the past 12 months, with most accessing healthcare within the month prior to the survey.
