Binary Fountain Unveils Results of Second Annual “Healthcare Consumer Insight & Digital Engagement” Survey

Binary Fountain, the leading online reputation management platform for enterprises, healthcare organizations and small and medium-sized businesses, today released the findings of its second annual "Healthcare Consumer Insight & Digital Engagement" survey. With the goal of getting an updated view into how patients search, evaluate and share their experiences with their physicians, the survey, conducted by OnePoll and commissioned by Binary Fountain, shows an increase in patients' dependence and reliance on online ratings and review sites to make informed healthcare decisions.

Americans Are More Comfortable Sharing their Healthcare Experiences Online

Today, social media platforms are being used to discuss and share all elements of a person's life, which now includes healthcare experiences. The survey results showed that consumers have become increasingly comfortable with sharing their personal healthcare experiences online. In particular, millennial consumers between the ages of 18-34 are the most active over social media and are the most inclined to share their healthcare experiences online.

The survey finds that Facebook is the most used channel to share healthcare experiences for ages 25-54. However, unlike last year, consumers between the ages of 18-24 say Google is their preferred online platform to share their healthcare experiences. In 2017, survey respondents between the ages of 18-24 selected Twitter as their most used channel to share healthcare experiences.

Growing Dependence on Online Ratings and Review Sites

The survey shows that healthcare consumers continue to depend on online ratings and review sites. More and more, consumers are seeking online healthcare advice and relying on unfiltered, transparent patient feedback to determine whether a healthcare practitioner or practice is worth a visit. The below survey results reflect the true impact that online ratings and review sites have on consumers, as well as, the continued rise in healthcare consumerism.

Of the respondents that utilized websites/platforms to choose a physician, 34 percent selected hospital and/or clinic's website as a primary source, followed by Google (29 percent), WebMD (18 percent), Healthgrades (15 percent) and Facebook (12 percent).

Expectations Remain High for Patient Care

Patients today have high expectations for customer service and bedside manner. The survey examined, through multiple-answer questions, what factors matter most to patients when rating or evaluating a physician. The survey results revealed:

Patients are Losing Patience in Waiting Rooms

Across the board, patients indicated that "waiting" and "time" tend to be the most frustrating things about visiting the doctor. For example, the survey results show:

"The survey results underscore the significance of online ratings and reviews as online reputation management for physicians becomes ever-more important in today's healthcare consumer environment," said Aaron Clifford, senior vice president of marketing at Binary Fountain. "As patients are becoming more vocal about their healthcare experiences, healthcare organizations need to play a more active role in compiling, reviewing and responding to patient feedback, if they want to compete in today's marketplace."

To discover more findings from the second annual "Healthcare Consumer Insight & Digital Engagement" survey:

Survey Methodology
Sponsored by Binary Fountain, the "Healthcare Consumer Insight & Digital Engagement" survey was conducted by OnePoll, a marketing research company specializing in online quantitative research and polling, between July 11-13, 2018. Feedback was obtained from more than 1,000 U.S. adults who have a physician.

Using a Self-Directed IRA for Private Placement Investments Continues to Grow in Popularity, According to IRA Financial Group

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company, a leading financial technology self-directed IRA provider & custodian, has seen growing demand from self-directed IRA investors looking to use retirement funds to make private placement investments into private businesses. The strong demand comes in the backdrop of news surfacing that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is drawing up plans to increase the number of people allowed to buy stakes in hot Silicon Valley startups and other private companies. "While some of our clients are able to satisfy the "accredited investors" rules allowing them to use IRA funds to invest in private businesses, talk that the SEC wants to give even more investors the opportunities to buy into fast-growing private companies is very exciting for many self-directed investors," stated Adam Bergman, President of the IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company.

According to Mr. Bergman, "an investor typically has to be "accredited" to buy an interest in private companies, which requires an annual income of more than $200,000 or a net worth of more than $1 million—a rule aimed to ensure that anyone allowed into these markets can afford to lose what they put in. Private placement s elf directed IRA investments into private businesses are booming as investors are chasing profits outside more traditional stocks and bonds.
