Comparing HIPAA Compliant Websites For Healthcare Practices & PLATINUM Websites
PatientGain.com PLATINUM websites versus a typical custom-built healthcare website
Side-by-side comparison of a PatientGain.com PLATINUM website versus a typical custom-built healthcare website, including a focus on HIPAA compliance and PHI consent management for patient data privacy and security:
| Category | PatientGain.com PLATINUM Website | Typical Custom Healthcare Website |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Goal | Designed for patient conversion, lead capture, and healthcare-specific SEO | Mainly focused on branding and aesthetics, some basic patient conversion or engagement |
| Average Conversion Rate | 8%–15% conversion due to optimized design, SPOC app, and AI-driven engagement | 2%–4% conversion, as it lacks engagement-driven tools and optimized workflows |
| Return on Investment (ROI) | 10×–35× ROI, driven by comprehensive tracking, A/B testing, and lead attribution, extreme focus on adding educations content every month | 3×–7× ROI, with limited tracking and manual lead management, or plugin based 3rd party leads tracking |
| Website Speed & Performance | Google PageSpeed scores of 90+, 4 seconds or less on mobile, desktop, and voice search optimization. PatientGain websites cannot even go-live unless they pass the speed test | Speed can vary, typically 50 to 76, which can affect bounce rates and user engagement |
| SEO Optimization | Medical & Dental – specific SEO, including EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) and local ranking – SEO is created by AI Agent app (created by PatientGain) Then human project managers review the work-product, before it is posted on websites | Requires manual SEO configuration; may not follow Google’s latest healthcare SEO guidelines |
| Content Development | Medical content experts create patient-friendly, keyword-optimized content for SEO and engagement. Focusing on Search Intent | Generic copywriting, often not optimized for medical search intent or compliance |
| HIPAA Compliance & PHI Consent | Built-in HIPAA-compliant apps, appointments app, and lead tracking for handling patient data (PHI). Includes real-time PHI consent management and audit trails to ensure full compliance. BAA is issued to all clients, which covers the technology stack, staff, and consent management app. Obfuscation is used in the leads-funnel to protect PHI. | External HIPAA plug-ins may be needed; consent management requires manual handling, leading to potential gaps in security |
| Consent Management | Automated PHI consent management, ensuring patients agree to data collection before submitting forms or interacting with any of the apps provided by PatientGain | Manual consent management often required, with potential risk of non-compliance if not properly handled |
| Conversion Tools | Includes SPOC AI App, text-to-engage, call tracking, and HIPAA-secure form submission for seamless lead capture and patient follow-up | Static forms and limited chat features; may lack secure data capture options for PHI |
| CRM & Marketing Integration | Fully integrated with PatientGain’s HIPAA-compliant CRM and Leads Funnel app, email automation, and performance tracking | CRM and email tools may not be integrated with the website, creating gaps in data collection and lead follow-up |
| Ad + SEO Synchronization | Seamless connection between SEO, Google Ads, and social media marketing, ensuring all campaigns are aligned with patient acquisition goals | Ads and SEO are typically separate, often requiring manual syncing, leading to inefficiencies and lost leads |
| Reputation & Review System | Reputation management app integrated with HIPAA-compliant consent workflows for soliciting reviews from patients | Reputation management often requires manual intervention or third-party tools without integrated compliance features |
| Reporting & Analytics | Comprehensive HIPAA-compliant lead tracking with detailed reporting on lead sources, conversion rates, and campaign performance | Limited data reporting; lacks integration with HIPAA-compliant lead tracking or patient consent monitoring |
| Ongoing Optimization | Ongoing A/B testing, content updates, and optimization by a dedicated Project Manager and a Technical Lead to continually enhance performance | Updates and optimization are typically self-managed, requiring additional costs and resources |
| Scalability | Easily scales to multi-location and multi-specialty practices with HIPAA-compliant systems in place for each location. Offers a single view of your entire organization. Marketing dashboards pull data from each location, and present live performance metrics with a single click. | Scaling often requires rework of compliance measures and additional custom builds for each new location |
| Support Model | All staff members are back-ground checked, and every staff member goes through security and HIPAA training on ongoing basis. Obfuscation is used to protect PHI. Support team, development team, project management team is all in-house. | Support is typically project-based, with limited ongoing compliance and technical support |
| Long-Term Cost Efficiency | No upfront fee model of subscription, covering hosting, compliance, maintenance, and ongoing marketing efforts. | High initial build cost; ongoing maintenance, security audits, and compliance updates can incur additional fees |
