Healthcare Organizations Can Improve Patient Experience Through Personalized Interactions

by | Dec 15, 2021

Patient experience is a key differentiator in today’s dynamic, digital environment and personalization is a critical tool to enhance it. Companies today, including healthcare organizations, need to ensure they are providing customers/patients with personalized service and interactions. This will show that the organization understands them and their specific needs at each point in their journey together.

The healthcare sector has been facing several key challenges. Today’s patients expect more from their healthcare providers than ever before. Accustomed to the seamless and personal customer interactions they have with brands like Amazon and Uber, they now expect the same level of service when they access healthcare. Too often, these expectations are not met, resulting in a poor patient experience.

To retain existing patients, healthcare organizations must focus on achieving higher levels of satisfaction when it comes to patient engagement.

Understanding the value of personalization

Recent research by Keypoint Intelligence confirms that consumers recognize and respond to personalization.

About 45% of consumers spent much more time reviewing digital marketing communications that were personalized and relevant to them than generic communications. This share was even higher for direct mail (52%).

As cited by 43% of consumers, personalization was the top factor that made consumers more likely to read or review a digital marketing communication.

Only about 37% of consumers were frequently or very frequently receiving highly personalized marketing communications, so is there is certainly room for improvement.

Based on experience from suppliers in other sectors, patients expect their healthcare communications to be customized according to their health/treatment, stage of life, and/or personal circumstances.

Using patient data on hand to personalize communications, along with a data focused strategy will help to build more detailed and specific patient profiles. This helps customize future communication and ensures better patient engagement.

Personalizing Healthcare Communications supports the recent shift to Customer Experience Management

Across industries, we’re seeing a shift from Customer Communication Management (CCM) to broader Customer Experience Management (CXM).

It’s therefore vital to enhance patient experience through personalized interaction, and this can be achieved by engaging patients with communications that are:

  • Frequent and ongoing – to maintain good engagement
  • Connected across touchpoints of the patient journey – where one communication triggers the next
  • Omnichannel and delivered in the patient’s preferred channel
  • Ad hoc and frequently interactive, supporting 2-way engagement
  • And, most importantly, PERSONALIZED

4 Innovative ways to Personalize Healthcare Communications

The latest release of Doxim CCM incorporates 4 powerful new tools your healthcare organization can leverage to achieve effective, personalized communications that deliver business results:

  • Targeted, Personalized Onserts – drive demand by including onserts, which are customized messages that appear directly on patient statements and communications, in designated blocks. But, because no two patients are the same, providers can segment their patients, design and upload onserts for each segment and apply logic – so that during document generation the process will automatically select and include the right onsert based on the individual patient’s data.
  • Self-Serve Correspondence – give your team the ability to send urgent communications to patients. Doxim CCM Self-Serve Correspondence gives them the control, speed, and agility they need to rapidly author service communications and, in doing so, deliver a better patient experience.
  • Personalized, Interactive Video – satisfy patients and motivate them to act with Doxim CCM Interactive Video. It delivers an interactive and personalized experience utilizing the same statement extract data that drives traditional print, PDF or interactive HTML statements- providing patients with a superior digitally engaged experience. It is ideal for onboarding, EOB and helps drive renewals, as well as retention.
  • Interactive Documents – Provide rich, interactive information and personalized end-to-end engagement – all contained within the capsule of a PDF document and sent securely to the patient via email with Doxim CCM Interactive Documents.
