RYE, N.Y., May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The eHealthcare Leadership Awards program, which drew some 1,000 entries last year, recognizes the best websites and digital communications of healthcare organizations, online companies, pharmaceutical/medical equipment firms, corporate suppliers/agencies, and business improvement initiatives. The program is presented by Health Care Communications, a provider of marketing, communications, and business development information since 1984.
"Digital innovation has accelerated to deal with a highly competitive landscape and to meet the demands of today's discriminating consumer," says Mark Gothberg, Awards chairman. "Organizations realize that their websites, social media outlets, mobile applications, and multi-channel marketing are vital for engaging current and prospective customers and improving operational efficiency."
The 2016 program features one new award category – Best Special Event Site. The other 14 categories are Best Site Design, Best Healthcare Content, Best Interactive, Best Mobile Communications, Best Social Networking, Best Rich Media, Best Patient Access and Convenience, Best Care/Disease Management, Best Doctor Directory, Best Annual or Special Report, Best Overall Internet Site, Best Intranet, Best Marketing Campaign, and eHealth Organizational Commitment.
Organizations enter under one of 17 classifications so that they compete only against others of comparable type, size, and resources. Platinum, gold, silver, and distinction awards may be given in every classification for each award category. An independent panel of individuals familiar with healthcare and the Internet evaluates entries.
Winners will be honored during the 20th Annual Healthcare Internet Conference, November 7 – 9, in Las Vegas.
