Welcome to Hospital Connections

Why Do I need Professional Profiles?

The Internet is used as part of the selection process for 8 out of 10 physicians. However, selecting a physician is a very personal decision and research shows that “meaningful” selections and relationships begin with an understanding of the “Person behind the Profession”. The Professional Profile service provides all members of the medical staff with a personal voice that is impossible using a traditional staff listing. The typical physician listing of name, specialty and location provides little more than what is already available in a phone book. Traditional listings lack the personal voice that patients can identify with. The Professional Profile site helps patients and family decision-makers to get to know the doctor.

With Professional Profiles the, patient gets to know the entire practice, which includes partners, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and office staff. Having this information establishes a relationship before the first visit. This improves patient satisfaction.

Marketing research shows that this additional information leads to greater market share. Professional Profiles provides doctors and patients with the right tools form therapeutic and lasting relationships!

Did you know?

More than 25 million Americans select a new physician each year.

For elderly patients, the choice is frequently influenced by a middle age child, living outside of the hospital’s market, who will make a recommendation based on impressions formed through the internet. In short, the recommendation of these remote decision makers is governed by the quality of the web content.

Because Professional Profiles offers more depth than a traditional hospital listing, it is frequently used by physicians to learn about referring physicians and new physicians.

Profile - This section is designed as a showcase for your physicians and their practice. A "professional grade" profile without space restrictions is useful to both patients and area physicians. This translates to increased market share and professional stature.

Gallery - Patients feel more comfortable when they can see where they will be going and with whom they will be meeting. This is your opportunity to “visually” sharing your practice with images of your office building, special services, physician partners, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, and staff members.

My Care Connection - This section provides a means to conveniently post useful online documents for patients, care givers and the community at large.

Creating a profile is easy. It’s like creating a professional network account like Linked In, but is easier and better. Our design is based on extensive research of what patients want to make an “informed decision” and what they want to know “before they go”.

With our site license, every medical staff member gets their own account, which they can update and change at any time. Patients expect information to be up to date and now its easy to do just that.

The cloud-based design of our product means it works with your existing “find a doctor”.

The research findings are clear—people relate to images more deeply than words and prefer a “visual” channel. This is why we created the gallery.

The Gallery has been specially designed to be viewed as a portfolio or in a convenient “slide show”. When visitors click on an image a “viewer” automatically provides a larger image with notes. The Gallery experience means patients and family feel more comfortable because they have already “met” the doctor and learned about the practice.

Start saving time and stop repeating answers to common questions and requests. Now you have peace of mind knowing patients get uniform answers they can share with their family!
