Define the Audience for Your Healthcare Corporate Video

Is my target audience hospital employees? The public?
Ask yourself these questions to get started. Afterward, you will know which direction to take.
3 Healthcare Corporate Videos Aimed at Employees
#1: Demonstration/Training Videos
Medical demonstration films can help recruits, and even experienced staff, understand the level of care and attention required in your setting.
A multimedia learning style is excellent since it benefits employees with different learning and communication styles.
Humans are hardwired to learn best when exposed to auditory and visual stimuli, and video training has recently been proven to outperform in-person training.
#2: Recruitment Videos
Today, 90% of the job market is candidate-driven. Therefore, to attract the right talent and hire them before your competitors, you must create content that speaks to them.
Whether research or care-based, health companies are driven by their employees. A recruitment video allows you to brag about yourself, demonstrating why you should attract the best talent.
Highlight your corporate culture while showcasing your state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
#3: Recognition Videos
Recruiting is essential, but retaining employees is even more crucial. Videos are a great way to reinforce the importance of your staff beyond traditional retention measures like bonuses and compensation.
You can use video to recognize employees who go the extra mile or to celebrate service years.

5 Healthcare Corporate Videos Aimed at the Public
The use of video in healthcare is a great way to:
- Simplify communication
- Convey complex information with more significant impact; and
- Better serve patients
There is a 1 in 8 chance that a patient will watch an online video on a health site.
Maybe they’ll look for a concise and clear explanation of a disease.
Or they may search for video reviews when selecting the best pediatrician’s office.
Following are five of the best video types for a public audience.
#1: Explainer Videos
Explainer videos are …
- Short
- Compelling; and
- Engaging
… videos that help explain a complex subject.
These break down complex information for the public.
#2: Testimonial Videos
Your healthcare brand will likely be remembered using social proof, such as a testimonial video.
Patient testimonial videos that are well-done help people remember your healthcare brand.
Your main goal with this type of video is to make the testimonial and the subject credible and trustworthy.
#3: Expert Videos
Expert videos both educate and build trust.
Healthcare staff (i.e. physicians, therapists, etc.) are the most credible source of information for patients and the public. Marketing, by way of expert videos, is an excellent way for your healthcare organization to establish its brand.
Educating the audience is always the first step to building an expert reputation.
Does your audience need help understanding a complex issue or treatment?
Now is the time to introduce your healthcare organization to the audience through expert videos.
#4: “What to Expect” Videos
Patients often experience anxiety when visiting the doctor, even for a simple checkup. A “What to Expect” video is a great way to put your patients at ease.
In addition to educating patients about the treatment, a “What to Expect” video can also help explain what will happen during the appointment.
Setting expectations before a patient visits will enable you to meet or even exceed those expectations, creating a positive patient experience.
#5: Social Media Videos
Whether you love or hate it, video has taken over social media. What are some ways you can use social media in healthcare?
First, show your patients you care about their well-being by providing general health advice.
You can also use video to share tips on how to:
- Stay healthy in the summer
- Exercise at home
- Cook nutritious meals
- And much more
