Abstract
This Health Industry Insights report highlights how one specialty practice
implemented a patient communication strategy using Health 2.0 and multimedia
effectively. This report provides insights on how other physician practices
can leverage these technologies effectively.
"Irving, Texas-based MacArthur OB/Gyn has
improved its ability to engage patients, especially its younger patients
who are most in need of health education, by providing
education materials on the practice' s Web site, social networking sites
such as Facebook and MySpace, and video displays within the
office." Judy Hanover, research manager, Health Industry Insights' Healthcare
Provider IT Strategies practice, and Lynne Dunbrack, program director, Health
Industry Insights. "Harried primary care physicians often only have a
few minutes to see their patients. But these few minutes
could change their lives."
