Why should you have an automated marketing platform and strategy for patient engagement?
According to Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) statistics from 2009 to 2016,1 there has been a mass exodus of physicians from private practice to hospital- and system-based settings. For example:
- Internal medicine went from 50 percent hospital and system employed to nearly 70 percent
- Orthopedic surgeons from mid-20 percent to mid-40 percent
- Pediatricians from just about 30 percent to more than 50 percent
Strategies for implementing site analytics, search engine optimization tactics, responsive design,
and accessibility behaviors.
