Does Social Media Equal Good Customer Service?
Oct,03,2013
by+Christianna Giordano

The answer is yes. And no. Social media has become many companies’ answer to providing better customer service by engaging with problems they find online, responding to complaints and providing more personal feedback, but has that meant that customer service has gotten better? Nope.
Our office just had the pleasure of hearing from Peter Shankman, three-time author and entrepreneur, about his newest endeavor, bettering customer service. While we first turned to Shankman for insight on personal branding (great interview, I recommend watching), it turns out his understanding of customer service is just as perceptive. According to Shankman’s research, 80% of businesses believe they deliver “superior” customer service. In reality, only 8% of customers have experienced superior service from those same companies. Now, there is no question that great customer service is essential to a successful business, but the question is, is social media the way to get it?

by:+Chantal Tode

Online shopping is expected to see a spike over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend as mobile users will look for the best deals without having to visit a bricks-and-mortar store.
The percentage of consumers planning to do most of their Black Friday shopping online is up to 30 percent this year, compared with 25 percent last year, according to the report. Mobile will likely play an important role in sales on this day as well as Thanksgiving day, as users look for special offers from their smartphones while taking a few breaks from the festivities.

Oct,09,2013
By:+Chris Hexton

Using a dedicated landing page for an email marketing list can lift conversion rates up to 50%. That’s an impressive figure! Better yet, a landing page per list, or per campaign, gives you the power to maximize the effectiveness of each individual funnel. This means you can play with all of the elements from the moment the customer hits your landing page to the moment they receive and react to your emails.
Perhaps best of all, dedicated email landing pages allow you to use all of the great conversion optimization techniques that usually apply to your landing pages, so you can use the same tactics in relation to email marketing.
This post shares examples and provides guidance on how you can use dedicated landing pages to increase your subscriber conversions rates.

Patient Participation: Let Patients Help With Medical Record Quality, Completeness
Sept,26,2013
by+ "e-Patient Dave" deBronkart

People perform better when they're informed better. Nobody can perform to the top of their training if they don't have the relevant facts -- right? Yet in my travels speaking at medical events, time after time, I hear of cases where information -- useful information or even vital information -- existed but was not at the point of care. In my view this is as much a medical shortfall as when a vital medication exists but is not where it's needed.

Oct,08,2013
by:+Stephanie Baum

The massive consolidation of physician practices, hospitals and health systems coupled with the transformative changes stemming from Obamacare and the HITECH Act has left medical professionals with a lot of questions. They vary from best practices for rolling out ICD-10 to pros and cons of Bring Your Own Device. A new social network to connect staff inside and outside their health systems wants to help them collaborate on health IT and other issues these groups face.

Health law glitches: fatal or fleeting?
Oct,08, 2013
By:+Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar

The glitch-ridden rollout of President Barack Obama's healthcare law has opponents crowing: "Told you so!" and insisting it should be paused, if not scrapped.But others, including insurance companies, say there's still enough time to fix the online enrollment system before uninsured Americans start getting coverage on Jan. 1.
After emergency repairs over the weekend, consumers in different parts of the country Monday continued to report delays on healthcare.gov, as well as problems setting up security questions for their accounts. The administration says the site's crowded electronic "waiting room" is thinning out. Still, officials announced it would be down again for a few hours starting at 1 a.m. Tuesday for more upgrades and fixes.

Some Americans choose healthcare sharing ministries as an alternative to health insurance
Oct,08,2013
by:+Kraus, Scott

A Baptist missionary, Nat Williams has no trouble putting his future in God's hands. But when it came to his family's medical care, enrolling in Samaritan Ministries' health care cost-sharing group instead of traditional insurance took a special leap of faith. The plan came recommended by fellow missionaries who said it was effective overseas, where using health insurance can be dicey.

Want to sell to docs and hospitals? Make your web site mobile friendly and video rich
Oct,04,2013
by+Veronica Combs

Google and HIMSS Analytics talked with doctors, IT directors, and hospital executives to dig into their buying habits. No surprise in the initial findings – people go online to do research before buying.
The shopping process is constantly changing for B2B buyers ’ they now complete more than half of the purchase cycle before even contacting a sales rep. They’re gathering information, comparing options, and doing so without your input.
Doctors and hospital administrators are no exception. We found that every phase of their decision journey is evolving thanks to the web, from information gathering to post-sale and back again.

Hospital shares up on signs of big demand for Obamacare insurance
Oct,03,2013
by:+Bill Berkrot

(Reuters) - Shares of hospital operators rose on Thursday on a strong show of interest in newly launched insurance plans under President Barack Obama's healthcare law, raising hopes that millions more Americans would become paying customers next year.
One of the biggest issues traditionally pressuring the profits of hospital chains has been the debt incurred by treating vast numbers of uninsured patients using emergency rooms for primary care and then being unable to pay their bills.

Sharp HealthCare checks out kiosks for check-in
Oct,02,2013
By:+Ashley Gold

What if checking into the doctor's office was as easy as checking in for a flight or buying movie tickets at a self-serve kiosk? San Diego, Calif.-based Sharp HealthCare, answered that question by implementing electronic check-in at three of its clinics. "We feel this is another avenue to maintain and increase patient satisfaction goals," Michelle Calleran, director of IT for Sharp, told FierceHealthIT in an interview. A second goal was to improve staff satisfaction, add another area of support, help their workloads and improve their job performance. It helps with physician satisfaction, too, she said. "It really does align with those values."

Despite the Obama administration's effort to highlight the wide popularity of health insurance exchanges, very few consumers actually know the online marketplaces opened only two days ago.
A recent survey from Kaiser Family Foundation found most consumers, particularly those without health coverage, were unaware exchanges were opening on Tuesday. Of the 1,503 adults polled before open enrollment began, 66 percent didn't know when the marketplaces opened.

How to Sell Without Feeling Sleazy
Oct,02,2013
By:+Cristi Young

Years ago, I found myself at a job where my success depended on the ability to sell. This was the first time I’d ever had sales directly impact my job performance and I convinced myself that because I was social, I could sell with little to no effort. I was dead wrong. And the harder I tried, the more disingenuous I felt. The ability to sell--whether it’s an idea, product or service--is crucial to business success, but what can you do when you're not "the selling type"?
