Over the last few years, healthcare marketers have worked hard to “level up” their efforts with a greater focus on strategy and planning. These efforts will pay off in 2020, as many organizations will embark on broader digital transformation efforts.

Watch this webinar and see how digital healthcare marketing is playing a leading role in digital transformation, particularly around:

• Access to care: Access to care has always been a popular phrase, but 2020 will see real investments made in centralizing access. It’s essential for healthcare organizations to make it easier for patients to engage with them, regardless of if they come to a clinic, chat with a bot, or call from their couch. It’s all about convenience, from helping rural patients connect with specialists to redirecting patients to the proper care setting.
• User experience: Just doing something is no longer enough. The online experiences you design, develop, and implement have to deliver. 2020 will see more cohesive experiences both online and offline, bigger intersections between content strategies and the web and greater use of research to guide teams.
• Findability: Healthcare marketers are already battling an increase in no-click searches. Add in the changes on the horizon in Google My Business and Google’s Map Pack, and 2020 will be the year healthcare marketers stop optimizing their websites for Google and instead optimize Google for their websites.

Healthcare organizations must be investing in optimization efforts, but with so many areas to focus on including technical, on-page, and external search engine optimization (SEO), it’s hard to know which tactics are the most valuable.

Watch this on-demand webinar and learn how Dan Small, Director of Digital Strategy, from Hartford HealthCare (Hartford, CT) invested in research and their site’s technical foundation to own organic search for priority service lines and how Megan Yezak, Marketing Manager at MidMichigan Health (Midland, MI) transformed their site traffic to a more clinically focused audience by taking a strategic approach to business listings.

You’ll learn how to:

• Review your current efforts and uncover where you need to focus your optimization efforts – on-page, externally, or in technical enhancements
• Take actionable steps to “own” organic search for your service lines, locations, and providers
• Make search optimization a priority in your organization – from fixing technical issues to maintaining business listings to establishing governance systems and processes to make those investments pay off in the long term.

All important to the overall digital well-being of your organization – and all require different skills. It’s no surprise that large health systems now boast teams of 20 full-time equivalents (FTEs), according to our recent 2019 Healthcare Digital Marketing Trends survey.

But for every large organization there are multiple smaller health systems, medical groups, and community hospitals doing the same functions with a lean team. And when it comes to digital, your website approach and tools can be the difference between competing with the big dogs or getting buried under piles of requests. Attend this webinar and learn what you should be looking for in your next CMS to give your team the foundation you need to compete.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

• Understand the skills and roles needed for digital to be successful in a small organization
• Identify signs your current CMS isn’t supporting your team or your digital goals
• Evaluate the different approaches to web content management and what they require of your team
• Understand healthcare-specific needs of a CMS to keep your organization in compliance with HIPAA and PCI

When buy-in is critical to your success and you have to prove your return on investment (ROI), you need to report data in a way that anyone can understand, without requiring them to take a course in data analytics.

Join Tim Lane, Senior Digital Marketing Strategist at Geonetric, as he shares tips and tricks to data visualization honed by working with hospitals and health systems of all sizes and across diverse markets. You’ll leave with actionable ideas for how to tell a story with your data.

He’ll dive into Google’s Data Studio as well as lesser-known plug-ins that will answer your top questions around data, including how to:

• Know what data you should include in reports
• Tell when you should use comparative data
• Choose the right format, such as table or chart, to tell your story
• Take advantage of filters to create dynamic graphics
• Integrate data from multiple sources
• Select plugins that will help you tell the full story
• Prove that ever-elusive ROI

And it matters even more for the healthcare industry, as access to care is your top priority. As your organization works to enhance the user experience, it’s important to put a plan in place to ensure people with disabilities — such as those with color blindness or hearing loss – can still interact with your hospital’s site. Ensuring your website works with assistive technologies isn’t just the right thing to do — recent lawsuits are making more healthcare organizations take notice of accessibility guidelines and best practices.

Join Amanda Gansemer, Senior Web Designer and Developer, Geonetric, and Kevin Rydberg, Senior Digital Accessibility Consultant, Siteimprove, as they dig into why hospitals should be investing in accessibility and how to get started. You’ll learn:

• The opportunities and risks associated with accessibility and the web
• What it means to be accessible
• An overview of important standards and why they matter
• The tools available to help you understand how accessible your site is — or isn’t
• How to create an accessibility plan to achieve short-term goals as well how to develop strategies for long-term success within your organization
