Communications for ear, nose and throat (ENT), allergy and audiology practices require a specialized approach. If your marketing communications programs and digital tools aren’t improving the patient experience, driving patient volume, improving scheduling, expanding your network or building relationships, they may be working against you. It’s also important for practices to know that some partners provide the same communications solutions to you and your competitors. Often agency partners will use syndicated or AI-generated content that is not unique to the practice. That makes it hard for your practice to stand out on search engines. It also may not be a coordinated approach that works for the unique care your practice provides.
A practice management partner supports patient communications with a tailored approach that leverages both best practices as well as unique insights from your operations, finance, HR and other areas of your business. The result is patient communications that deliver better performance metrics and revenue growth.

Reputation Management & Reviews: Leveraging Word of Mouth
Did you know that nearly 75% of prospective patients read reviews from other patients before booking their appointments? This is because patient reviews provide credibility from unbiased sources. Encouraging patient reviews and sharing them across your communication platforms can build trust, increase engagement, and help you maintain and manage your reputation. Parallel can help your practice request reviews from patients and then stream them directly to your website.
PPC Campaigns: Targeting Patients at a Lower Cost & Higher Return
Digital advertising and PPC (pay-per-click) campaigns can go a long way in connecting your practice to potential patients. With our extensive experience in ENT, allergy and audiology, we can tailor your campaigns by using the best keywords so you can target individuals who are actively seeking specific treatments and generate the lowest cost at the highest return. Once your digital ads are out in the world, Parallel will analyze metrics such as ROI, click-through rates, conversion rates, and cost per acquisition, so your campaigns deliver.
Complaint, Caring Content: Keeping Watch and Taking Action
The recent cyberattack on Change Healthcare impacted healthcare operations across the country. With Parallel, our practices had the capital and support they needed to weather the event, as well as communication tools to answer patient questions and proactively communicate as needed. That’s why it’s essential to have a partner in your corner that goes above web and email design.
Making Social Media and Email That Matters
Social media and email are essential for keeping in touch with patients, expanding digital reach and boosting your reputation. By posting engaging content, health tips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of your practice on social platforms, you can make your practice more accessible and humanized. In addition, E-newsletters with health tips and practice updates can keep your practice top of mind for patients. Parallel can segment your email list to help ensure that your content is relevant to your recipients, plus implement scheduling updates, new provider/location/services education and videos, and patient success stories.
