We understand that a positive patient experience is just as important as high-quality medical care. This newsletter outlines our commitment to continuous improvement and details marketing strategies designed to elevate your satisfaction.
Strategies & Tactics for Increased Satisfaction
-
Patient Experience Feedback: We value your feedback! We've implemented online surveys (developed with the IT department) after appointments to gather real-time insights. Additionally, the Patient Relations department will conduct random satisfaction phone calls for a more personal touch.
-
Personalized Communication: The Marketing department will collaborate with Patient Relations to develop targeted email campaigns. These emails will provide appointment reminders, preventive care information, and personalized health tips based on your medical history.
-
Streamlined Communication Channels: The IT department will explore the integration of a patient portal to allow secure communication with your care team, appointment scheduling, and online bill pay.
-
Investing in Our Staff: The Human Resources department will focus on staff training programs that emphasize patient-centered communication and cultural competency. We want every interaction at BAMC to be positive and respectful.

Highlighting Success Stories: The Public Affairs department will work with medical professionals to share patient success stories through social media and our website. These stories showcase BAMC's capabilities and build trust with the community.
Departments Working Together
The success of these strategies depends on strong collaboration between departments. Here's a closer look at the top three departments involved:
- Marketing Department: Leads the overall patient experience strategy, develops communication materials, and manages BAMC's online presence.
- Patient Relations Department: Focuses on resolving patient concerns, gathers feedback, and identifies areas for improvement.
- IT Department: Provides the technological infrastructure for online surveys, patient portals, and secure communication channels.
Trends in Medical Professional Marketing
The healthcare landscape is constantly evolving. Here are two key trends impacting marketing for medical professionals:
-
Telehealth & Virtual Care: Patients increasingly demand convenient access to care. BAMC will explore telehealth options, allowing medical professionals (with coordination from the IT department) to provide consultations remotely. This can improve satisfaction by reducing wait times and offering greater flexibility.
-
Social Media Engagement: Social media platforms offer valuable opportunities to connect with patients. The Public Affairs department, in collaboration with medical professionals, can utilize social media to share educational content, answer frequently asked questions, and humanize BAMC's services.
For Example: BAMC's social media pages could feature "Meet the Doctor" segments where healthcare professionals introduce themselves, discuss their specialties, and answer patient queries in a friendly and informative way. Studies have shown that increased doctor visibility on social media platforms fosters trust and patient engagement ([1], [2]).
By actively incorporating these trends, BAMC can leverage the expertise of its medical professionals to market services effectively and build stronger relationships with the community.
