Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about healthcare website design

What makes healthcare website design different from other industries?

Healthcare website design involves several unique considerations:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Healthcare websites must adhere to strict regulations including HIPAA for data protection, ADA for accessibility, and various medical advertising guidelines.
  • Emotional Sensitivity: Healthcare decisions often involve anxiety, fear, or vulnerability. The design must account for these emotional states with clear information, reassuring visuals, and a calm user experience.
  • Information Complexity: Medical information is often complex and technical. Healthcare websites need to present this information in ways that are accurate yet comprehensible to patients with varying health literacy levels.
  • System Integrations: Healthcare websites typically need to integrate with specialized systems like EMR/EHR platforms, practice management software, telemedicine solutions, and insurance verification tools.
  • Trust Signaling: Healthcare websites require stronger trust signals through credentials, affiliations, certifications, and social proof that are specific to the medical field.

Our specialized healthcare web design approach addresses these unique factors while maintaining an exceptional user experience for patients and stakeholders.

How do you ensure HIPAA compliance in healthcare websites?

We implement comprehensive HIPAA compliance measures throughout the website development process:

  • Secure Infrastructure: All healthcare websites are hosted on HIPAA-compliant servers with proper BAA (Business Associate Agreement) documentation.
  • Data Encryption: Implementation of TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for sensitive data at rest.
  • Access Controls: Role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and session timeouts for any areas with protected health information (PHI).
  • Form Security: HIPAA-compliant form processing with secure transmission and storage of any patient-provided information.
  • Audit Logging: Comprehensive logging of all access to PHI with user identification, timestamps, and activity recording.
  • Privacy Policies: Development of HIPAA-compliant privacy notices and terms of use specific to healthcare.
  • Third-Party Validation: Security assessments and penetration testing by healthcare security specialists.

We also provide documentation and training materials to help your staff maintain HIPAA compliance when managing website content and responding to patient communications through the site.

Can you integrate our healthcare website with our existing EMR/EHR system?

Yes, we specialize in healthcare system integrations and can connect your website with most major EMR/EHR platforms including:

  • Epic Integration: Patient portal connections, appointment scheduling, and MyChart functionality.
  • Cerner: PowerChart and Millennium integration for patient data and scheduling.
  • Allscripts: Professional EHR and Practice Management integration.
  • NextGen: Patient portal and scheduling system connections.
  • Athenahealth: athenaClinicals and athenaCollector integration.
  • eClinicalWorks: Patient engagement and scheduling tools integration.
  • Other Systems: We can work with virtually any EMR/EHR that offers API access or integration capabilities.

Our integration approach uses secure API connections, HL7 interfaces where appropriate, and FHIR standards for modern healthcare data exchange. We implement these integrations with careful attention to data security, performance, and maintaining the integrity of your clinical workflows.

How do you approach accessibility for healthcare websites?

Healthcare websites must be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our accessibility approach includes:

  • WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance: We design and develop to meet or exceed Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at the AA level, which addresses most accessibility requirements.
  • ADA Compliance: All healthcare websites are built to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for digital services.
  • Section 508 Compliance: For healthcare organizations working with government agencies, we ensure Section 508 compliance.
  • Assistive Technology Support: Full compatibility with screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), voice recognition software, and other assistive technologies.
  • Accessible Content Guidelines: Training and documentation for maintaining accessibility in content updates.
  • Multiple Testing Methods: Combination of automated testing tools, manual testing, and testing with users who have disabilities.

For healthcare in particular, we pay special attention to forms, medical information readability, and ensuring that critical patient pathways (like appointment scheduling) are fully accessible to users of all abilities.

What is your approach to healthcare SEO and content creation?

Healthcare SEO and content require specialized expertise that balances search optimization with medical accuracy and regulatory compliance:

  • E-A-T Focus: Emphasis on Google's Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness factors, which are heavily weighted for healthcare content.
  • Medical Writer Collaboration: We partner with healthcare copywriters who understand both SEO and medical terminology.
  • Provider Review Process: Structured workflows for clinician review and approval of medical content.
  • Compliance-First Approach: All content strategies adhere to healthcare advertising regulations and avoid prohibited claims.
  • Patient-Friendly Language: Translation of complex medical terms into approachable language while maintaining accuracy.
  • Local SEO for Providers: Optimization for local search to capture patient searches in your service areas.
  • Schema Markup: Implementation of healthcare-specific schema markup for enhanced search results.

We also create comprehensive content strategies that address the full patient journey, from symptom research to provider selection and post-care support, ensuring your website becomes a valuable resource that builds trust with potential patients.
