Recently, the Healthcare Marketing and Physician Strategies (HMPS) conference was held in Austin, Texas, which was filled with insightful sessions and delivered takeaways for those who want to stay ahead of the curve in healthcare marketing.

Sondra Brown, Founder of MDRG, spoke alongside healthcare leaders about the importance of end-to-end customer experience in healthcare.

The potential of generative AI in healthcare marketing was among the industry trends topics that can help marketers by automating tasks and freeing up time for more strategic work while evolving the tasks that marketers do.

Throughout the event, marketing and strategy leadership agreed that marketing should play a leading role in consumer transformation. By doing so, healthcare providers can create a competitive advantage and position themselves as leaders in change management. Leaders also discussed the importance of co-creating business strategies with clinicians.

While there was a general understanding of the roadblocks that may be faced when placing clinical quality secondary to the consumer experience, the overarching theme throughout HMPS was that of gaining insights into consumer demands to drive business growth and stay top of mind within the marketplace
