Highlights of Medical Web Solutions Developed by ScienceSoft
Responsive design
Your patients are mobile, so should your web platform be. Step out from the desktop-only realm and make you resource a number one go-to companion regardless of device, browser or platform.
We integrate the web solution with your EHR/EMR, practice management, scheduling, billing and other systems (may be relevant for hospital websites design, patient portals, web apps for disease management, etc.).
We equip your web solution with a user-friendly content management system to allow easy content updates and edits so that your non-tech employees won’t need to call a technical specialist every time they need to post a new article.
Backend for a mobile app
Your web platform may also be the backend for a mobile app to help patients access their health data from devices and benefit from social media integration and push notifications.
Our Healthcare Web Development Projects
Medical Web Development Process by ScienceSoft
Healthcare web development is a complex process covering all stages of creating the solution – from the idea inception to the launch and support.
1
Business analysis
ScienceSoft’s business analysts with 5-9 years of experience in healthcare start by analyzing the market and defining a competitive advantage of your medical web solution. Then, they gather and define web platform requirements based on your needs, outline the scope of the medical solution, a winning feature set, and estimate costs.
2
UX and UI design
To make the web solution engaging and easy-to-understand for patients, medical staff, etc., our UX designers closely analyze user needs, research market and competitors, map user journeys, design interactive UX wireframes, and conduct user testing. UI designers transform the UX wireframes into a catching interface with animated elements, and create a UI kit.
3
Development of a medical web solution
Our web developers with experience in healthcare deliver web-based medical solutions and, if required, custom or platform-based content management systems for easy updates of medical web platform’s content. They develop the solutions according to all relevant regulatory compliance requirements (e.g., HIPAA) and implement appropriate security measures (e.g., user access management, patient data encryption).
4
Integration with the IT environment
We plan and implement HL7 integrations with medical software and ensure interoperability with EHR or EMR systems, hospital and patient applications, practice management systems, customer management systems, and more.
5
Quality assurance of a medical web solution
ScienceSoft’s QA engineers plan and conduct functional, integration, security, accessibility testing of a medical web-based solution to verify that it is efficient, fast, and secure. Healthcare software is also checked against HIPAA compliance requirements and other relevant regulations.
6
Healthcare web software implementation
After the elimination of the detected defects and bugs, medical web software is implemented and ready to use. To ease solution adoption, we offer training materials on the solution use for patients, medical staff, medical content contributors, etc.
7
Medical web software support and maintenance
If required, ScienceSoft is ready to provide L1, L2, and L3 support and maintenance services and ensure high availability and reliability of your web-based medical platforms. To give you a competitive edge, we can also conduct software evolution and improve functionality and design of your medical web solution.
From Standard to Personalized Functionality
Medical web design is all about planning and developing a feature-rich web solution to achieve unparalleled patient, physician, or client experience.
Content personalization
This patient retention technique can help reengage the web solution users (e.g., patients who visited the facility some time ago). We integrate the following content personalization methods to help you attract new patients and accelerate revenue growth:
- Recently visited section to allow medical web solution users to continue where they left off.
- Geolocation (e.g., to display the closest medical facilities first).
- Personalized promotions in the web solution.
- Loyalty systems with bonus points, cumulative discounts and other incentives.
- Interactive features like diet calculators, ‘slide-to-see’ before and after photos, videos, charts and more.
The web platform personalizes content using patients’ personal information like:
- EHR/EMR health data (data handling is HIPAA-compliant).
- Browsing history from previous entries.
- Current browsing behavior.
- Information about relatives.
Patient engagement tools
Aimed at helping patients get fully involved in their wellbeing activities, our web solutions provide access to reliable medical information and services:
- Information about staff members, featuring a few words about physicians, nurses, etc., their photos, achievements, to help build good rapport between the medical team and the patients.
- Online self-registration options to allow patients to easily check in for an online appointment or schedule a visit.
- Health plans guide to inform patients about their treatment options in a transparent way and lessen the workload on administrative staff.
- Health education to provide extensive health knowledge to show empathy and competence, track patients’ points of interest better and offer more relevant content personalization.
- Interactive Q&A chat to provide medical web solution’s user with immediate support, improve conversion of visitors, strengthen the bonds with the existing clients.
- Motivation elements with milestones, challenges and achievements to help your patients acquire healthy habits by setting goals.
- Social media integration to help your medical web platform users share their aspirations and wins with friends and family across multiple social media apps.
- Medical quizzes to integrate gamification into the learning process.
- Other custom features.
Embedded patient portal
It’s important for patients to track their health data, treatment progress, examination results, billing information, etc. So, based on our 19 years of experience in custom healthcare software development and medical website development, we create these key features and make sure they are fully compliant with HIPAA, HITECH, ISO 13485 standard, etc.
Web analytics
When filling the web platform with interactive and SEO content, we suggest going beyond the general analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, and gather the following metrics:
- Interest in particular services.
- Patient or user engagement level.
- Personalized content effectiveness.
