Where Should the Patient Video Go? A Touchpoint Map

In short: what do I need to know?

One Video, Five Touchpoints
Putting a patient video only on your website means leaving most of your investment unused. The same content does different work at different moments.
1. Research Phase: Website
The patient doesn't know you yet and is scanning options. Here the video builds trust before first contact. It must be embedded inside the treatment page, not lost in a separate "videos" section.
2. Decision Phase: End of Consultation
The highest-impact point. Shown on a tablet while presenting the treatment plan, it replaces the persuasion conversation and frees the physician's time for personal questions.
3. Before the Appointment: Message
A pre-treatment education video sent 3–5 days ahead measurably improves instruction compliance and lowers cancellations.
A reminder SMS repeats information; a video explains it. The difference shows in compliance rates.
4. The Waiting Moment: Clinic Screen
The natural habitat of cross-selling. The patient in for a filling watches an implant animation — awareness without sales pressure.
5. After Discharge: Care Video
Post-op care videos arrive when the patient needs information most and is furthest from your team. Measurable result: fewer post-discharge calls.
Format Differences
These five points demand different formats — narrated horizontal for web, silent subtitled loop for screens, light and vertical for messaging, chaptered for tablet. All derive from one production.
