The benefits of marketing healthcare on Twitter for hospitals and doctor's offices are many. If a doctor offered a new service to his/her practice they could post it, and increase their customer base. If during a certain week or month they offered a discount on a special screening or a free service, they would receive a higher response, than say, by word of mouth. If a new doctor moved into the area he/she could post it online to start getting the word out about a new practice in town.
If hospitals were to market the healthcare they offer on Twitter, they could list all their services and even the wait times in ER's and more. If they were to have a new wing under construction, they could post it on Twitter and save on confusion, by having maps available for people to use instead of taking up valuable staff time to direct people in the right direction.
Advertising for new studies in the medical field could be posted on Twitter, giving hospitals a wider range of a study group. Consequently having more customers using their hospital instead of another facility, in turn boosting their bottom line. Which will help keep hospitals and doctor offices operating in the black rather than the red.
Posting on Twitter that certain doctors offices are associated with certain hospitals will also help with customer base at those specific hospitals. All in all - Twitter is a great benefit in alot of areas including Healthcare Marketing. People in today's world expect to have information available at their fingertips and twitter and facebook allow that to happen.
