Simply said ...
Encounter Health™ is an online content syndication system, a means by which content from a single source is distributed to multiple websites simultaneously. Developed by Practis, a leading online health care web company, this application is the cornerstone of a unique, breakthrough concept.
Why it's needed
The health care industry is developing breakthrough technology improving the lives of patients like never before. Physicians are able to perform more complex procedures with greater ease with these minimally invasive technologies. Previously unmet clinical needs of patients are now finally able to be addressed – that is, if these patients, or their physicians, are fully aware of the latest breakthrough medical solution. That's where Encounter™ Health comes in.
Encounter Health brings knowledge of breakthrough procedures into the lives of those who need it most - patients.
How it works
Getting content to the patient. Its simple!
- Organizations contribute content, which is loaded into Encounter Health.
- Provider websites are developed with this content and it then made accessible to people searching for online health information.
- Based on what people learn from this content, they are empowered with the knowledge to make educated decisions on available treatment options.
Why it matters
It's a win for everyone. Content syndication provides benefit's to every party involved:
- Participating organizations build controlled brand awareness through the physicians' websites with their contributed content.
- Providers need a website to market their practice with deep condition and procedure content to educate and build patient loads. Encounter™ Health provides this content to providers without the usual cost of writing and maintaining it themselves.
- Patients are treated, physicians are seeing more patients and organizations are building their brands. And with more information available, consumers can find the product or service that they are searching for more easily.
Why it's different
Many of the newer, minimally invasive procedures now available are often not included in existing patient education libraries. Interestingly, these are the very topics patients are often searching for online. Having access to this unique content on your website is critical to empowering patients to make informed decisions.
