Effective Strategies for Responding to Negative Online Reviews

CME available

Potential patients often rely on online reviews when selecting physicians. Negative online reviews can significantly impact physicians by affecting their professional reputation, patient trust and practice growth.

ISMS is offering a new webinar to provide physicians and their staffs with effective strategies on how to develop policies and procedures that might help head off an online reputation attack before it occurs. It will also offer tips on what to do if physicians or medical practices are the target of negative, false or defamatory online posts.

Navigating Negative Online Reviews

Wednesday, October 16 | Noon to 1 p.m. (CT)

Register today!

The webinar is available for all ISMS members and their employed staff.
If you have questions, please contact the Health Policy Research and Advocacy Division by email.

Tick Season in Full Swing in Illinois

Register now for fall conference on tickborne diseases. CME available

Experts warn that we’re getting more ticks in number and variety in all areas of Illinois that can cause illnesses in people and animals. The potential for Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever is real, even for people visiting green spaces in urban settings.

This fall, the Illinois Department of Public Health, Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and the Illinois Lyme Association will be hosting the 2024 Illinois Tickborne Disease Conference.

The conference will take place October 22 in Champaign and will offer in-person and virtual attendance options.

The theme of the conference is “Taking a Bite Out of Tickborne Disease,” which will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The conference will bring together clinicians, researchers, local health departments and other leaders in the field of Lyme and tickborne diseases from around the nation. Featured speakers include experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Register now with the QR code in the conference’s flyer.
If you have questions, please contact the ISMS Health Policy Research and Advocacy team by email.
