Like most institutions, COPE Health Solutions had either limited or scattered information with respect to its large alumni population. While the institution was capturing alumni information at events, it was inadequate for maintaining an updated alumni database. While the organization wanted to contact alumni to showcase their achievements, an outdated directory posed more problems.
Another problem that the team faced was the limited visibility of the content that they posted. In the absence of a designated page for showcasing alumni achievements, fellow alumni and students often missed out on these updates.
COPE Health Solutions primarily used emails to collect information for the spotlight features. As the content received was, most of the time, in a similar text format, it was starting to feel repetitive. While collecting the information for Alumni Spotlights was already challenging enough, along came the problem of distributing it and maximizing its reach. Very few alumni were ardent followers and the organization was faced with the challenge of penetrating a wider audience.
Connected to over 35,000 alumni, COPE Health Solutions is able to engage and provide value in the form of a digital alumni community, with ample opportunities for peer-to-peer networking and mentorships.
By consistently spotlighting achievements of the finest healthcare practitioners/providers in the US, the organization is on a steady path to building an unmatched reputation and fulfilling its mission of accelerating sustainable population health management and driving value-based care transformation.
In combination with regular text format, COPE Health Solutions now captures alumni testimonials in video format, resulting in higher engagement. Here’s an example of how COPE Health Solutions effectively captures two of its health scholars as they reflect on their valuable learning experience on the COPE Health Scholar program.
The video is to the point and engaging. More importantly, the video being filmed at alumni’s workplaces not only makes it look more authentic but also appealing to the audience.
COPE Health Solutions ensures that each spotlight feature video narrates genuine stories of professional growth. Each of these alumni stories revolve around experiences that shaped their careers and truly made a difference in their professional lives.
Seeing alumni reflect on their own experiences is something that COPE Health Solution’s constituents really resonated with.
