Hospitals and health systems

Websites for hospitals and health systems.

A health system's site has dozens of departments, hundreds of providers and a lot of people allowed to edit it. We host and look after it, keep the find-a-doctor search fed from your provider data, give each department a login for its own pages, and keep patient health information off the website.

What we look after

What a health system website has to do.

Find a doctor

The provider search comes from your credentialing or provider data. We set it to import on a schedule, so a new provider shows up and one who has left comes off.

Give each department its own editors

Cardiology edits cardiology, and the foundation edits its own pages. Roles keep each editor to their section, and marketing approves what gets published.

Keep health details off the site

We don't sign BAAs, so appointment requests with symptoms, intake and anything else with health information go to your patient portal or a vendor that signs one. We review every form on the site.

Link the patient portal

Portal login, bill pay and price estimates are the links patients look for. We keep them at the top of the site and test them whenever it changes.

Show every location

Hospitals, clinics, urgent care and labs each need a page with hours, directions and parking. We update them when you send a change.

Work for every patient

Patients use screen readers, magnifiers and keyboards to get around a site. We work toward WCAG 2.1 AA with fixes in the site itself, and the work is quoted first.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • A patient called to book with a doctor who had left months earlier, because the search still listed her.
  • Dozens of people have admin access, and nobody knows which of them still work here.
  • A department's contact form asks for symptoms and a date of birth, and the emails go to a shared inbox.
  • Changes wait weeks in the agency queue, so departments post PDFs instead of pages.
A note from Ryan

The account list comes first

On a hospital site, I ask for the list of everyone who can log in and go through it with whoever runs the web team. Then I fill in a few forms from each department's pages and see where the emails go. Health details turning up in a shared inbox is the problem I'd most want to find early.

How many people can edit your website?

Send us the site and a rough count of who logs in. We'll look at the editor roles, the provider search and the forms, and write back with what we find.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

No. We don't claim HIPAA compliance and we don't sign BAAs. We keep patient health information off the website by sending appointment requests, intake and anything clinical to your patient portal or a vendor that signs a BAA with you, and we review each form on the site to see where its data goes. Your privacy and compliance teams decide what's needed beyond that.

Yes, if your system can export it or has an API. We set up an import on a schedule and map the fields you want shown, such as specialty, location, languages and whether the provider is taking new patients. The build is quoted first.

Each person gets their own login with a role limited to their section. Marketing or the web team approves what gets published, and when someone leaves, removing their login takes one step. Before anything moves, we can go through the current list of accounts with you.

Yes, honestly. Where it asks about certifications such as SOC 2 or HITRUST, the answer is that we don't hold them, and we describe what we do instead: how the server is secured, who has access, how backups run twice a day and are kept off-site for 30 days, and the terms we'd sign on a Custom SLA.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
