Nearly 80% of providers say a high-quality digital presence on their healthcare organization’s find-a-provider website is extremely or very important, according to Kyruus’ recent survey of 200 providers.

The rise of healthcare consumerism, growing demands for convenient self-service options, and the pandemic all contributed to a perfect storm of consumer needs that pushed healthcare organizations to accelerate their digital roadmaps.

The healthcare industry is evolving at an unprecedented rate to keep pace with changing customer needs, government mandates, and an onslaught of competition from emerging disrupters like Amazon and Walmart. Health systems and health plans are realizing that working together to create better, more consistent care access experiences is no longer a lofty goal for the future—and that collaboration needs to start now.

Consumer preference for accessing care through digital channels is here to stay—with nearly 60% of consumers turning to the internet when searching for new care options. What’s more, consumers are searching for all types of care online, from vaccines to mammograms, not just individual providers.

In a recent MedCity News article, I shared that growing consumer demands for convenience and digital self-service have created opportunities for health systems to accelerate innovation that closes the gap between expectation and reality for people searching for care. And consumer-centered solutions to meet these demands were abundantly displayed by health tech leaders—including Kyruus—earlier this month at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, so it’s clear that healthcare consumerism is top-of-mind—and here to stay.
