Friday Flyover: Healthcare Marketing Videos

Grab your popcorn—it’s time to review healthcare marketing videos on this month’s Friday Flyover.

My colleague Dave Wieneke and I took a look at how four provider systems are using healthcare marketing videos to communicate to patients:

• Catholic Health Initiatives displays video profiles of their providers, giving prospective patients a view into its doctors. This strategy allows patients to get a tangible sense of how providers will sit with you as a patient and help them to understand your journey, which is a big part of the provider-patient experience.
  
  
• Cedars-Sinai uses video to advertise their services to traveling patients. On the center’s page are language-localized videos that introduce Cedars-Sinai’s services to multicultural visitors. This globally-connected content strategy shows that organizations go beyond just checking the box of translated material, and are more interested in making a real connection in the language that their audiences prefer.
  
  
• Kaiser Permanente uses video for mental health engagement. Kaiser provides wellness and education-oriented material related to mental health conditions, which are topics that are often fraught with emotion, yet also touch a lot of our lives. Kaiser takes cues from B2C marketing strategy to address a complex topic more simply through the videos they share on their mental health page.
  
  
• Sutter Health uses virtual reality video of their facilities to help orient and acclimate patients before they set foot on their campus. Their self-directed 360-degree panorama videos, which include areas such as the maternity ward and rehabilitation facilities, help to alleviate a major pain point patients experience when visiting a new hospital facility.
