Drupal for Healthcare

There’s a great story to be told about the growth and success of Drupal in healthcare – and almost any other industry for that matter. The latest version of Drupal is considered one of the richest and most-flexible content management system (CMS) platforms ever built. Today Drupal is used by hundreds of hospitals and healthcare systems, including many of the most prominent and effective hospital websites.

Centretek is the leading Drupal design and development partner for hospitals and healthcare systems. We built some of the earliest Drupal hospital websites and have helped dozens of healthcare organizations dramatically improve their CMS platforms ands online marketing strategy.

Why Drupal is a Top Content Management System for Hospitals and Healthcare Systems

Vendor Neutrality. Drupal is widely supported by a large number of qualified agencies and development shops. Unfortunately, some healthcare organizations in the past have selected single-vendor, proprietary CMS platforms. Luckily, we see many now moving away from these products in favor of vendor-neutral platforms like Drupal.
Flexibility and Scalability. Provides a highly flexible and scalable development foundation that can be customized to an organization’s specific needs. Open APIs facilitate integration with third-party systems and data sources like CRMs, marketing automation platforms, e-commerce solutions and social media, as well as industry-specific platforms like credentialing systems, call center software, patient portals, or syndicated health content.
Large active developer community. Drupal has one of the largest and most active developer communities. As such, there are more than 16,000 prebuilt Drupal modules that can be leveraged to greatly speed up the development process. Custom modules and plugins can also be built to handle unique business rules and needs.
No Licensing Costs. It’s open source software with no licensing costs
It’s proven and its usage is growing. More than 1 million websites are powered by Drupal including high-profile sites like The White House, Zappos, University of Michigan Health System, Duke Medicine, Northwestern Medicine, NASA, PBS, NBC, University of California San Francisco, Whole Foods, Duke University, and The Weather Channel.
Highly Ranked by Industry Analysts. Drupal is ranked as the top CMS by Forrester Research and ranked among the few leaders by Gartner Research. You can read more here – Choosing a CMS for hospitals or healthcare systems.
