How it works
Patients experiencing hospital stays have often just had a major, oftentimes traumatic, life event. This is a pivotal moment when patients are more receptive to information that can help improve their health outcomes — opening the door to engage them with limited distractions.
WebMD Ignite serves the education and engagement solutions needs of over half of all U.S. hospitals. Since hospitals opt in to these solutions, clinicians are invested and integrate health education into their workflows.
Directly engage patients while they’re in the hospital through our expansive reach. We connect with more than 12M hospital patients and caregivers annually and offer access to over 500,000 healthcare professionals in over 1200 hospitals.
Our POC hospital advertising allows you to share timely messages with patients — right when they need them most.
WebMD Ignite offers unique access to our expansive patient and caregiver in-hospital reach, the largest patient-education network, and the ability to target your audience by life stage or health condition.
Our platform can help you target by specialty, increasing the effectiveness of your point of care marketing strategy by reaching the right patients with the most appropriate messaging.
Hospitals are an environment built on confidence and trust, where patients feel safe and are more receptive to health-related information. The credibility that a hospital offers allows your messaging to make a lasting impact on the patient.
When a patient sees a targeted point of care advertisement, they are more likely to bring it up to their physician when they see them. In a hospital, that next step is nearly immediate.
Hospital point of care advertising is not limited to direct-to-consumer (DTC) strategies. Reach providers in nurses’ stations and staff lounges with our back-office media solutions.
