Provider Directory

> Back to list of modules

Since listing physicians is a complicated topic, VitalSite is flexible enough to incorporate varying rules for display of physician listings, including randomly, by number of referrals handled, and other criteria. This helps ensure a fair display of providers on your site and helps avoid conflict.

A physician search is simply a necessity for any healthcare provider Website. Finding a physician is consistently one of the top tasks performed by users identified in our research, and can be a powerful tool for physician retention and recruiting. It is also a perfect avenue for driving prospective patients to other actionable content, such as Classes & Events, Health Libraries, Virtual Tours and other content.

For Site Visitors

• Manage information in one place
  Control your physician data through a central administration system, where you can edit everything from phone numbers to fellowships in a single location.
• SmartSearch
  Use the integrated SmartSearch interface to find different physicians in the organization by full name, partial name, department, specialty, gender, city, facility, type of patients accepted or any other criteria you define. Each data column is sortable, enabling easy scanning of results by the most important information.
• Robust information display
  Each physician record can have a photo, Website link and an array of other supporting information including educational background, credentials, interests or a link to their CV.
• Integrated mapping
  Integrated links to MapQuest® provide visitors immediate directions to an individual provider's location.

For Site Administrators

• Multi-facility application
  Easily apply your module across multiple facility Websites, Portals or Intranets.
• Create custom physician data
  Add unique physician information with a simple interface, creating new content and categories for information through a set of custom fields.
• Create your own ‘brand’
  Customize your module’s design to fit the different branding needs of individual facilities or share a common look-and-feel.
• Cross-promote with SmartPanels
  Using Geonetric SmartPanel technology, each physician is categorized with one or more health specialties, enabling you to automatically present physician information within related content throughout your site.

Overall System Features

• Integrated experience
  Direct integration of your module enables the automatic presentation of health information and services related to that physician’s specialties. External physician directories lack the benefits of this targeted promotion.
• Enterprise-caliber infrastructure
  Built on a robust .NET framework, it’s designed to grow and adapt to your organization’s needs over the long haul, integrating with other modules including appointment requests and patient pre-registration.
• Intelligent interface design
  Designed for optimum usability, including multiple browser and resolution compatibility, common-sense workflows and helpful visual cues.
• Roles-based security
  Lock-down management rights to your module, allowing only administrators that you assign to access, manage and edit physician information.
• Don’t want to integrate?
  Alternatively, data pulls can be set up to utilize a custom set of fields from your existing legacy database to display within your site seamlessly. Updates are managed outside the module, eliminating the inefficiency of creating duplicate records, while keeping the advantage of SmartPanel cross-promotion technology.
