Keys To A HIPAA Compliant Website Written by Jeff Tormey on April 28, 2020. Posted in Connect. You want to have a strong web presence so prospective patients can find you online. You may even want to have people send you information online so you can give them recommendations. Both of these things are great! But there’s one thing standing in the way: HIPAA compliance. If your website is not compliant, you risk a hefty fine… or worse, a lawsuit. So what do you do to make your site HIPAA compliant? Keep PHI In Mind Protected health information (PHI), and its transmission or storage, is the key to figuring out if what you’re doing is HIPAA compliant or not. If you’re transmitting or storing PHI, which you almost certainly are if you’re using web forms to collect prospective patient information, you need to make sure everything is HIPAA compliant. What counts as PHI? Anything that can be used to identify a person. Security Is Paramount If you’re dealing with PHI, your healthcare website needs to be using SSL (HTTPS) encryption. This is non-negotiable. You also need to be using encrypted web forms. If the information is being submitted through a web form, then there needs to be no way that an intruder can get access to that information. Encryption helps there. Email notifications for your web form can’t transmit PHI to another user. That means, those notifications cannot have any PHI in them whatsoever. All data needs to be time-stamped on the date and time of collection, and it needs to be accessible on request. PHI collected by your website cannot be accessible to just anyone. You need designated staff members with designated secure logins, otherwise it’s not compliant. The point is to make sure no unauthorized user can gain access to PHI transmitted, collected, or stored on your servers. Got any questions at all about HIPAA security requirements? Give us a call at 888-986-3638. It’s better safe than sorry. Getting Help With Your HIPAA Compliant Website? Get a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)! There are plenty of service providers that are well equipped to handle PHI. If you’re going to work with one, make sure to get a BAA from them. This certifies that the vendor has checked your technology solutions HIPAA compliance regulation. This includes HIPAA compliant web forms, web hosting services, servers for storing patient information, and much more. Ask us about HIPAA compliance if you have any other questions.
Changing Your Healthcare Marketing After Coronavirus Written by Jeff Tormey on April 21, 2020. Posted in Convert, Manage. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the global economy. But the reverberations are most felt in the healthcare world. Focus on healthcare investment has shifted greatly toward dealing with the virus. Many healthcare businesses that weren’t directly involved with dealing with the virus have seen a drastic decrease in revenue. If you’re thinking about reducing your marketing budget, we highly encourage you to think in different terms. Instead of just cutting back on your marketing budget, where else can you put that spend to work? What other strategies can you use to prepare for when businesses open up again? Here are our recommendations. Why Now Is the Time to Prioritize Digital Marketing If you haven’t already been putting digital marketing initiatives first, then now is the time to do it. Investing in digital marketing has always been a solid investment, but for the near term with everyone in quarantine, digital marketing has never been more important. Invest in search engine optimization, where you’re producing content and optimizing your site and copy to be found by people on Google. Invest in social media marketing, where you post shareable content to social media and interact with your followers. You may even want to invest in paid search and paid social. Best of all, starting now will also have some ripple effects in the long term. Your search engine rankings will increase, your social media following will grow, and you’ll have much more data if you’re investing in advertising. Why? Because digital investments are a long term play, especially with SEO and SMM. Build Authority and Stay Connected During Lockdown Now that everything is under lockdown, your business can use this time to create content and make your brand an authority in your space by producing helpful, interesting content that’s better than anything else out there. Write content. Create videos. Do live workshops and webinars. But that’s not all. After you do all of these, use the opportunity to get people’s info and stay connected. Talk directly to your prospects, and use email marketing to keep in touch with them after the shutdown’s end. By doing this, you’ll have access to them when they’re much more prepared to buy. Read more: Healthcare Email Marketing: Why it’s Powerful and Popular You can even use this opportunity to give back to your community.

Prepare Now to Thrive in a Post-Lockdown World It’s tough if your business’s financial situation isn’t all that great. But the lockdowns will end, and people will be back to normal. If you’re able to invest the time and effort into crafting strategies for the post-shutdown world, you’ll be able to thrive even greater than before.

The Five Keys to Effective Hospital Marketing Strategies in 2020 Written by Jeff Tormey on April 14, 2020. Posted in Connect. Have you been brainstorming hospital marketing strategies, but couldn’t come up with any novel ideas to support your current initiatives? You’re not alone. Most hospitals in the US stick to the tried-and-true marketing tactics that they always have. They’ve recently added digital to the mix: much later than most businesses. Why? Because it takes time and effort which is often spent taking care of the hospital’s immediate needs. There are, however, ways that you can come up with good hospital marketing strategies that work for you. Here are the keys to doing so. Satisfy the needs of your local market. Every market has different needs, and your market is no different. You already have much of the data needed to satisfy your local market’s needs. Data such as the median age of the population, ethnic backgrounds, patterns in patient behavior, all of these will help you understand what the unmet needs are. For example, if your area has a high proportion of Medicare enrollees, you may want to invest in services that a geriatric population will benefit from (that a younger population might not). Or, as another example, you may find that your local area’s Chinese population is growing. You might want to invest in more Chinese-language services and marketing materials in order to communicate with them. Only you can truly understand what your local market needs out of a hospital and their messaging. Create high quality interesting content. Good content wins on the Internet. There’s so much content out there, especially medical content, and in order to stand out, the content that you decide to promote and produce needs to be better than what’s currently out there. This means satisfying a need that isn’t currently met, giving information that isn’t expressed, or simply giving them a friendlier, more familiar person to listen to. Your content, though, is NOT the time to toot your hospital’s horn. However, it is perfect for conveying information in a way that’s relevant to the people in your market, giving you an edge on the competition. Reach out to your patients. You have patient data (not derived from medical records) that you can use to market to them. Now, that doesn’t mean being annoying and spammy: there are rules against that. What you need to do is make sure your patients know when they need to come in for follow ups, annual checkups, and give them whatever information they need in order to get the most out of the care you’ve given. You can also use this opportunity to get feedback. Ask your patients how their experience was, and get them to answer questions that could help improve your hospital’s operations. Leverage the true power of social media. Why would a person follow a hospital on social media? There are many reasons. One reason is to stay up to date with information regarding the hospital’s openings, closings, and events. Another reason is to get important health information relevant to your local market. A big reason, though, is to get information that is relevant specifically to them from people they trust. They’d rather hear information from a physician they can meet and speak to, especially if it’s going to be their physician. Local authorities build trust first by being local, and then by being an authority. Remember, though, when using social media, you will need to remain HIPAA compliant and make sure that no PHI is being transmitted in any way on a social media platform! Measure everything. It’s not good enough to be everywhere. You need to put effort in making sure that every initiative your hospital takes part in is measured. How should you measure the effects of content strategy and social media marketing? Blog viewership, social media following, and related upticks in hospital performance metrics. By measuring your initiatives, you can figure out what’s working and needs more investment, and what isn’t working and should be pruned back.
Why Patient Engagement Is Important In Healthcare Written by Jeff Tormey on April 7, 2020. Posted in Connect. Healthcare professionals tend to regard patient engagement as a high priority. It’s considered an essential indicator of quality care and correlates well with positive business outcomes. However, patient engagement is not a guarantee. Ultimately, it’s up to the patient to decide which healthcare options he or she would like to pursue. As a healthcare professional, you can only hope to provide the patient with the information necessary to make a decision. So what can be done about patient engagement, and why is it so important yet so difficult to achieve? What Is Patient Engagement? Patient engagement represents how patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers interact to make good healthcare decisions on behalf of the patient. Ultimately, the onus is on the patient to make the decision based on the information given. Patients who take an active role in their healthcare and utilize the services provided by caregivers and healthcare professionals to the utmost can be said to be highly engaged patients. Patient engagement has become a strategy to help achieve better health outcomes for patients while lowering the cost of administering healthcare services. Why Is Patient Engagement Important? Patients have options available to them. It’s not hard for a patient to go to another practice. They can search for doctors and practices online quickly, and they have access to customer reviews online. Thanks to the Internet and global interconnectedness, patients are no longer limited to their immediate area, either. Without actively getting patients engaged in their healthcare, they’re much more likely to have a negative experience and switch practices. Engagement tools can help cut costs, reduce waste, and lower the burden on staff. Technology has done wonders for improving patient engagement. Even ubiquitous tools like social media and search engines allow patients to have a much more active role in their care. What’s even more interesting is the growing availability of tools such as wearable tech that checks health measures and patient portals for patients to access their medical records safely online. By making sure that patients know about these tools, as well as providing active support for the latest patient engagement technology, your practice can help make your clientele a much more engaged one. Patient engagement leads to better health outcomes. How does patient engagement improve patient health? Engaged patients are, for example, more likely to attend regular health appointments and participate in recommended screenings. They’re more likely to understand why they’re important, too. They’re also more likely to actively look for information about health topics relevant to them. Engaged patients are interested in their health, and healthcare professionals can help instill a greater interest in a patient’s health. Engaged patients are more likely to be satisfied ones, and thus more likely to return. Thanks to improved health outcomes, as well as a sense of understanding between the patient and healthcare staff, engaged patients are more likely to report positive experiences and overall satisfaction with their care. As a result, they’re more likely to come back or recommend your practice to another. This has the effect of not only establishing a quality clientele, but also allowing that clientele to grow organically. In Summary Patient engagement is a key priority for healthcare professionals. Patients who are actively engaged tend to experience better health outcomes and have more positive interactions with your practice. With the advancement of healthcare engagement solutions, technology is increasingly helping patients take a more active role in their healthcare journey.
The Biggest Challenges in Marketing in the Healthcare Industry Written by Jeff Tormey on March 31, 2020. Posted in Convert. Marketing in the healthcare industry is unlike any other industry in the world. The healthcare industry is high-stakes, heavily regulated, and woefully misunderstood by patients. Between staying within the law, and effectively building a connection between your business and your patients, healthcare marketing presents unique challenges not seen in other businesses. So what are they, and how should we deal with them? Marketing Challenges In Healthcare Dealing with HIPAA Compliance You knew this was coming. HIPAA compliance is a monkey on the back of every healthcare practice looking to use new marketing methods or technology. As a result, it’s the most important challenge in healthcare marketing. Certain forms of marketing are illegal, such as remarketing to prospects based on known health conditions, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. So what do we do? Solution: Be Diligent In Following It! Make sure to keep claims and language within the bounds of the law. There are claims that you can and cannot make. Most importantly, make sure your staff (and especially your marketing team) understands the HIPAA Privacy Rule. It defines what is and isn’t marketing, and what falls under the bounds of the rules. Your Budget Hospitals and practices require great amounts of resources. Since they also provide an essential service, patient acquisition is often thought of as an “if we build it, they will come” situation. These two factors result in small marketing budgets. Solution: Convince Leadership Of The Value Sell your leadership or partners on increasing marketing budget by showing how marketing can provide a measurable ROI. Marketing is not a cost center but a driver of revenue, and it’s important that leadership understands that this applies to healthcare businesses as well. By communicating that you’re able to work with HIPAA regulations to stay above board, you’ll also convince them that investing in healthcare marketing is a sound strategy. It’s best to work with a marketing partner that understands HIPAA and the intricacies of healthcare marketing. We at Sequence Health provide healthcare marketing systems to businesses of all sizes. Public Perception of Healthcare Not only do most people not understand the healthcare industry, but many people actively dislike it. Healthcare is expensive in the USA and has become highly politicized. So what can you do to put your business in the best light considering the perception Solution: Become An Authority Create excellent content and use content marketing strategies to promote your practice and its offerings. People like to make the choice themselves, and instead of presenting them with offers straight away, give them the information they need to make a decision themselves. This also improves your business’s reputation as an authority on your healthcare specialty. Transparency In Operations People who are in need of healthcare services are not able to see what happens behind the curtain. As a result, they rely on reviews and information online to find out important information. Solution: Keep People In The Loop. Make what you do more transparent. Make it easy to see what your operating hours are, the services you provide, and how the process goes. Also, improve the overall patient intake experience, from before the appointment is set up all the way to the moment they start the appointment. Making it easy for them to book online or by phone will definitely improve your healthcare marketing efforts, as they’ll be more likely to report a positive experience. Making the Connection How do you market to your customers, even considering all the HIPAA regulations? Making a connection with your customers is still very difficult, even with all the technology out there. What do you do? Solution: Make It Easy For Them. Be where your patients are. HIPAA regulations concerning marketing mainly deal with marketing messaging and segmentation, rather than placements. Make it easy for your patients to find you on social media, on search engines, and in local publications by being active on them. Then, collect relevant data to figure out which of these is best serving your marketing goals. Building Trust Trust is at an all time low, and it seems to keep getting lower. Misinformation is abundant, and many people are starting to get more savvy to the techniques that marketers are using to mislead customers to get them to buy. Thanks to the poor reputation of the healthcare industry as a whole, this is a difficult (but not insurmountable) challenge to overcome. Solution: Engage with transparency. Be as transparent as possible, and showcase honest reviews. Make it easy for patients to access information about pricing, wait times, and services offered. Also, being engaged within the community on social media and in real life is important for building trust. Your patients are just as human as your staff are, and making that human connection is the key to building and maintaining trust.
How To Get Patients To Sign Up For Your Medical Patient Portal Written by Jeff Tormey on March 24, 2020. Posted in Connect. If you’re looking for a way to improve patient engagement while making communication with patients easier, look no further than patient portals. More and more practices have started utilizing patient portals in their patient engagement strategies, and have found that they reduce costs, make it easier for patients to get necessary information, and improve recordkeeping. The vast majority of hospitals use patient portals, and smaller practices are starting to come on board. But the biggest problem these practices face is getting a patient to sign up for the portal in the first place. So how do you fix this problem? How Do Patient Portals Work In their most basic form, patient portals are web-based access points for patients to view medical data such as lab results and electronic medical records (EMR). But patient portals can do so much more. Practices can use patient portals that allow for communication between patients and doctors, appointment scheduling, and even bill payment. Patient portals come in two main forms: standalone systems and integrated services. Standalone systems exist only as a web tool, not integrated with a comprehensive practice management software suite. Patient portals are such great tools for reducing costs and managing patient engagement that the majority of hospitals in the US use one. But how do you actually get people to sign up? Tips For Getting Patients To Sign Up For A Patient Portal Enroll at the first appointment If you get a new patient, it’s important that you get them to sign up for your patient portal. Ideally, getting them to sign up before their appointment even starts can help improve engagement. Enroll for scheduling online appointments Online appointments are a huge value add for many patients, as it makes scheduling appointments much easier. For this reason, you should have them enroll to get access to online appointment scheduling. Provide registration to the portal when patients come in Many patients don’t register for the portal because it slips their mind. Having them register for the portal upon walking in allows this process to be done seamlessly within the regular intake flow. Link your portal sign up on all correspondence If you send an email, make sure to include a footer or signature that prompts them to sign up for the patient portal. This makes it easily available. Also, if patients call your phone, have your staff remind them that it’s an option. Optimize for desktop and mobile Most Internet traffic nowadays comes from mobile phones. Making sure that your patient portal can be easily accessed on one’s phone is an important part of making it easy to use. Get all staff involved with patient signups Your staff, especially the ones at the front desk, have mandatory interactions with patients. Having them remind patients of the portal and giving them opportunities to sign up is an excellent way to get signups. Make sure patients know the benefits Many patients don’t sign up because they don’t know what’s in it for them. Letting them know that it could save them money and time by giving them instant access to medical records, lab results, and communication with a healthcare professional may incentivize them to sign up. Enroll patients in bulk Import your list of unenrolled patient emails into the portal, and then have it send these patients an email to get them to sign up. Follow up with emails to those who have yet to pick a username and password. In Summary Patient portals are a hugely useful service that all practices, big or small, should provide. Get the team involved with patient enrollment. Consider the reasons why patients sign up to patient portals, and make the benefits known.
How Practices Can Implement Chronic Care Management (CCM) Written by Jeff Tormey on March 16, 2020. Posted in Manage. If you have patients that deal with chronic conditions, you know that you have to address their concerns differently than other conditions. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Centre for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) both recognize the importance of approach when dealing with patients that have chronic conditions. 21% of Americans between the ages of 45 and 64, according to the CDC, deal with two or more chronic conditions, with the percentage increasing to 45% for those 65 and older. Because these conditions cannot be cured with medical interventions, managing these patients’ care is key to maintaining positive health outcomes and high quality of life. Chronic care management (CCM) consists of all the strategies used to educate, oversee, and manage care for chronic conditions. It entails communication between patient and healthcare workers, managing their medications, and creating and revising care plans. Nowadays, most CCM practices are provided remotely via telephone or online. So how can a practice implement a CCM program? Steps To Implementing Chronic Care Management Identify Who You Will Serve Use your EHR to identify patients who may be a good fit for your CCM program. Check their eligibility with the CMS if they have Medicaid or Medicare. Focus on specific diagnoses, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s, or COPD. Educate Patients on Services In order for your CCM program to have success, your patients need to know about its benefits. Let your patients know at every opportunity that you provide CCM and that they may be eligible for reimbursement by Medicaid or Medicare. Begin Enrolling Patients To start enrolling patients, you’ll need to verify that they’re eligible, have a face-to-face visit to discuss the program, and get their consent. However, it’s not enough for patients to be on board: your staff needs to know the details of the program and what it entails. Training your staff on CCM will help make implementation much easier. Bill for Reimbursement Reimbursement requires that the practice keep a clear audit trail. As well, only one clinician can bill for CCM services for a particular patient. Since many people with chronic conditions have multiple care providers, they’ll need to understand that they can only have one clinician billing for CCM. Work with a Trusted CCM Partner This is an important consideration, as a trusted CCM partner will help ease the strain on resources that providing CCM services can cause. A good partner will take care of most of the troublesome parts. Outsourcing CCM is one of the best ways that practices can provide quality CCM without causing too much of a burden on the practice.
How To Improve Patient Care Through The Call Center Written by Jeff Tormey on March 9, 2020. Posted in Convert. Patient Care begins with the Call Center. When a patient phones into the Healthcare facility and the call center agent answer, that is their first experience with your healthcare business. If the patient is treated rudely, questions are not answered, or some other negative experience occurs, that patient is left with a negative impression of your healthcare facility. Healthcare Call Centers can implement these five steps to improve patient care and satisfaction. 1. Invest in training Healthcare Call Center Agents Call center agents in the healthcare setting need to be provided with qualitative training regularly. Set clear customer service expectations and provide scripts for routine call activities such as appointment scheduling, medication refills, hours of operation, directions, or routine questions. Call center representatives who are adequately properly will leave patients with a positive impression of your healthcare facility. 2. Encourage Empathy in your Call Center Agents Call center agents need to become more patient-focused. Patients want to speak to a knowledgeable, compassionate human being, not a robotic answering service. Focusing on the caller’s needs in the Health Call Center is an essential step in providing quality care and the best patient contact. 3. Focus on Patient Satisfaction Phone agents need quiet, non-distracting environments, both for themselves and for the person to whom they are speaking. They also need a place where privacy is assured, so patients feel comfortable talking with them regarding their healthcare concerns. The Medical Call Center can facilitate a high level of satisfaction by ensuring every call meets the patient’s expectations and needs. 4. Use every opportunity as a Patient outreach A healthcare facility call center can perform reminders for follow-up appointments, health risk assessments, preventative care reminders, and referral reminders. Contacting the patient with valuable information makes them feel that the facility cares about their health while leading them to better health outcomes. 5. Implement a Patient Retention Program An experienced call center agent should be able to use every opportunity to positively represent the healthcare brand and handle issues that come into the call center confidently. They should be trained to identify patient needs and know where to direct patients if they do not know the answer to the patient’s healthcare concerns. Medical call center services provide a tremendous benefit for both medical facilities and for the patients who call them. Quick, 24/7-phone support with empathetic, patient-focused agents will improve turnaround time, and result in happy, satisfied callers. In turn, that should enhance your healthcare brand image.

5 Benefits A Crm In The Healthcare Industry Can Provide Written by Jeff Tormey on February 17, 2020. Posted in Uncategorized. What is a healthcare CRM? A healthcare customer relationship management (CRM) system is an invaluable tool to maintain up-to-date information about patients, offer quality support, gather valuable insights, and provide efficient customer management processes. The Benefits of Having a CRM in the Healthcare Industry 1. Reports, Metrics, and Dashboards A CRM stores data on patients in a communications module so that it is readily available to employees throughout the healthcare system to schedule and track patient appointments and interactions. Many doctor’s practices, clinics, and hospitals have set up an online medical portal to make new patient check-in and record updates for existing patients less time consuming for staff. The patient management module of the CRM enables staff to add or update patient records, , and access medical histories of patients to provide better care. The reporting module of the CRM can be designed to segment the patient population to analyze and then understand them better. Additionally it can calculate specific metrics such as patient retention rate, length of stay etc. Reports can be generated by metric or customized information to track and measure progress over time. 2. Mailing and Marketing Campaigns Knowing who patients are, what they need, and what they are looking for allows healthcare establishments to improve their services and quality of care, and build strong relationships with their patients. A healthcare CRM can track patient satisfaction and the patient’s likelihood of referring others to the healthcare establishment. Such data provides valuable feedback to healthcare executives to make data-driven decisions. The CRM allows you to filter your contacts to get a targeted list of patients or prospective patients who would most likely be interested in upcoming special offers or new services or products. 3. Integration with Existing Software Your new healthcare CRM must provide EMR integration and work seamlessly with your practice’s current applications. 4. Availability on Multiple platforms CRM software is one of the most popular types of software for business and healthcare practices. Approximately 50 % of users access CRM software from a smartphone, a cloud-based platform, or a tablet. 5. Customer Management Processes There are a considerable number of daily tasks that must be completed for internal processes to function correctly. Filing out forms, reporting, compliance with regulations, appointments, patient notes by doctors and nurses, medications prescribed and on hand, etc. All of these tasks, which involve a specific sequence of actions, can be automated with a CRM. The task management module of the CRM allows staff to add a task, assign it to an individual staff member, and track the progress, deadline, priority, and completion of the job. A Healthcare CRM is a versatile system that acts as a medical records portal, patient tracking system, statistical analysis system, marketing platform, and routine task automation center. Tailored to your specific healthcare needs, a CRM can free up you and your staff to focus on the patients treatments, and more strategic projects, which results in enhanced customer experience, reducing waiting times, and satisfaction.
