Overview of the webinar

We live in a time where everyone can voice their positive or negative impressions on your business from their phones in seconds. Your customers can sit in your waiting room and post how long they have been waiting to see your doctor or how rude they think your front desk person is. Whether this is true or not, in an instant it can be posted to your social media page for all the world to see. For example, visit Yelp, Healthgrades or any of the social media sites and within seconds and you can read various opinions of your business. Hopefully, many of them are positive, but what do you do when the negative reviews are posted? The Journal of General Internal Medicine study found that patients perceive reviews on Yelp or Healthgrades as more credible than those posted on a provider website. Believe it or not, when handled properly, online reviews can support and enhance the effectiveness of your social media strategy and improve your business processes by bridging the gap between what our customers think is important and what are business thinks our customers want.

Why should you attend?

Effective management of your social media pages is a part of doing business. Negative responses unresolved can impact your business model. Whereas, positive responses can enhance your business profile and be used by patients as they shop for a new place to trust and build a new healthcare experience. More patients than ever are using online provider review websites. In 2015, nearly one-third of patients were leaving online provider review comments, up from one-quarter of patients in 2012, according to a study in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. A separate survey from Software Advice in 2016 found that 59 per cent of patients look at these reviews at least sometimes. Seventy-seven per cent of patients use these reviews prior to making a treatment decision.
