Patient and Doctor

Few relationships are as critical as the one between doctor and patient, but the healthcare landscape is rapidly shifting. Patients are increasingly likely to switch health insurance plans, move away, seek second opinions, and shop for new doctors. This change can be challenging for healthcare providers, but also offers valuable opportunities.

When patients search for a new doctor, they're often interested in building a strong, caring relationship with a trustworthy provider who will look at their medical history with fresh eyes (and possibly new insights). The challenge is helping those potential patients find the right doctor, a service that's getting rave reviews from such news outlets as The New York Times, CNN, Fortune  and  The Washington Post patients can use to find a physician or dentist who accepts their insurance, book an appointment, and fill out their paperwork in advance. The process takes just minutes and saves a lot of   time and stress for both patients and providers.

Having roughly determined the general category of physician, the next step is to ask patients itself what blend of experience and personality traits are important to them so that they and the physician will be a good fit. It's a mix that obviously depends on the relationship they will have with the physician. If it's long-term, such as one with a primary care doctor or with a specialist who sees them for an ongoing condition, personality and demeanor will carry more weight than if it's a one- or two-time encounter with a specialist or surgeon

More than 2.5 million patients meet the doctor's office every month, primary care physicians and OB-GYNs to acupuncturists, psychologists, orthodontists, and everything in between. This usefulness is crucial for building a patient base meeting.

More than ever, potential patients are using the internet to gather medical information and search for healthcare providers. Once the candidates are narrowed down to a manageable number, Google is your friend. Most doctors have at least some degree of online presence that can give them valuable insights. "They can tell how transparent a doctor is. They can read other patients’ ratings and reviews of doctors and dentists. This gives you a strong idea of who the provider really is, and whether or not they’re a good match for your needs. These patients often delay making an appointment, or opt for an urgent care solution instead. Immediacy can spin web traffic into real appointments, and can help doctors retain existing patients. Healthcare is rapidly changing, and technology is driving this shift. To grow and maintain a strong medical practice, professionals need the right technology on their side.
