PatientPop,
the leader in practice growth technology for healthcare providers, is
conducting its second
annual nationwide survey of medical and dental professionals to
understand how they manage their online reputation. Findings from the
PatientPop survey will shed light on the industry’s evolving challenges,
practices, and opportunities surrounding reputation management, such as
oversight of patient feedback, online reviews, and practice website
testimonials.
In the 2018 provider survey report, more than three-quarters of
healthcare providers (80.3 percent) said maintaining a strong online
reputation is extremely or very important. However, the majority
expressed they did not know or weren’t sure how to positively affect
their own practice reputation.
In addition, a 2019
patient survey conducted by PatientPop revealed that patient reviews
are the most critical resource when choosing a healthcare provider, with
seven of 10 respondents saying they place high importance on a
provider’s online reviews.
“Online reviews have a direct and lasting impact on how patients find
and choose healthcare providers,” says Joel Headley, PatientPop director
of local SEO and marketing. “Since patients are now even more empowered
and engaged, providers must find better ways to manage their reputation,
or they won’t likely be a top choice in their market. With insights from
this latest survey of providers, PatientPop will continue to track and
share the most pressing issues and trends in online reputation
management.”
The survey is open to qualified physicians, dentists, practice managers,
office managers, and other professionals who have reputation management
responsibilities within a healthcare practice.
These professionals can take
the survey here. The survey takes only five minutes to complete, and
all answers remain anonymous and analyzed in aggregate. A report of the
key findings from the survey will be issued by PatientPop in Spring
2019, featuring insights and recommendations from healthcare providers
related to reputation management.
