So why should you as a doctor or a medical facility have a website? The reasons are too many to count. A website is like a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week secretary who never goes on leave. Wouldn’t your clinic be better off having one? When your practice closes for the day, the Web site continues work by providing support, clinic details, and critical information needed by patients, referring doctors and potential clients.

As a Doctor it is vital for you to communicate with your patients. A medical website provides you with an ideal tool to do so with minimal headache. Today clinics which have a presence on the web see more foot falls in urban centers as people begin to search for doctors and hospitals close to their residence or work place using the computer or the phone.

There is much discussion these days about patients traveling out of their locality for healthcare services, as doctors complain about fall in business. Though this number is small it is a growing trend. Those who do usually have some common characteristics which are:

They are well settled
Are below 40
May travel due to work
Will select doctors and clinics based on information they have researched or heard
Use the internet for finding the above information!

So what is basic information your website can provide?

The information provided consists of contact information including phone numbers and addresses, patient query forms, clinic timings, maps and directions, service offerings and descriptions, doctor details, and frequently asked questions or FAQs.

FAQs can be a burden for your front desk staff during rush hours, where a patient can read up online and then come prepared maybe for a certain procedure or with the required reports. Photos and biographies of doctors and staff can be posted to provide a personal connection for patients before stepping foot into the office.

Patients are less apprehensive about their first consultation if they know what to expect. Providing information about your or the clinics expertise helps differentiate your practice from competitors. Many new tech savvy patients will seek out your Web site first, learn details about you and your services, and save you and your staff the trouble of explaining these services at length. You can also cut down patient information collection time by asking them to fill a pre-visit form online or providing a solution a form to be downloaded and filled when coming in for the consultation. This helps the patient and you prepare for the encounter.
