Essential Tools for doctors using a platform

A doctors’ platform is really a directory which is a two-way tool and the building block of a new relationship-foundation. Populating the information on the platform is for the benefit of both, doctor and the patient. Understanding how the platform is really supposed to work is the key to unlocking a world of potential. The platform provides avenues to patients looking for alternatives, convenience along with saving money and time, thereby creating a good patient experience before even seeing the doctor. For the doctor and clinic, these avenues and choices for patients can easily translate into more business.  For the patient, the doctors’ platform is an avenue to get more information and become more involved with their own health care.  

Patients can choose doctors based on a combination of several parameters that have been provided by the doctor.  The information provided by doctors is one step closer to helping the patient make an informed decision when patients are looking for a second opinion. When given easy options, some patients may well be inclined to follow up on their personal health in areas that they would not have addressed or made a priority before. The use of doctors’ platforms will help to drive patients to your service. Stronger, loyal relationships may well have their genesis through the doctors’ platform. 

Some of the facts that doctors need to provide in detail for their platform to be the most appealing would be:   

• Area / Location 
• Brief profile 
• Availability/Hours of work 
• Designation 
• Specialty 

• Education/Qualification 
• Practicing since:  
• Affiliated clinics/hospitals  
• Patient reviews 
• Social media references (i.e.  Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, personal website.  etc.) 

• Articles, Blogs, Podcasts, Videos 
• And most importantly, the cost of booking a consultation.
