The Corvallis Clinic’s website has received a 2017 eHealthcare Leadership Distinction Award for Best Overall Internet Site in the Medical Practice/Outpatient Facility category.
This is the second award for The Clinic’s new website that was officially launched in January. In the summer, the site received a 2017 Aster Gold Award by scoring among the top 5 percent of nationwide submissions. The Clinic shares both website awards with Visual People Design of Corvallis.
Judges at the eHealthcare Leadership Awards looked at how websites and other digital communications compared with others in their organization’s classification. They also reviewed entries based on a proprietary multi-point standard of internet excellence. For example, the Best Overall Internet Site category, in which The Clinic won its award, had to address more than 40 factors.
“Digital marketing and communications in healthcare organizations continue to evolve rapidly and we were thrilled to recognize the best of the best in the industry,” said Matt Humphrey, president of Plain-English Health Care, and producer of the eHealthcare Leadership Awards. “We see winning organizations focusing on improving the patient or consumer experience in everything they do from web and app design to content, rich media, social networking and marketing campaigns.”
Jane Weber Brubaker, chair of the eHealthcare Leadership Awards, noted that “Winners range from small and large healthcare provider organizations, to business-to-business and medical device companies, but they share these common attributes: they understand their target audience, and they know how to present information in a format that is both pleasing to the eye and highly functional. Visitors to these sites can easily find what they are looking for and accomplish what they set out to do. That experience creates a bond between the user and the organization’s brand—and it drives business outcomes.”
Winners of platinum, gold, silver, and distinction awards represented 17 industry classifications, from hospitals and health systems to pharmaceutical firms and online health companies.
This year 116 individuals familiar with healthcare and the internet evaluated some 1,000 entries. About 200 organizations received awards, which were announced at the 21st Annual Healthcare Internet Conference in October.
