MakatiMed also received a Silver Anvil under Marketing and Brand Communication for its QR Code Scheduling: Digital Innovation for Patient Convenience Program, which simplifies outpatient procedure bookings through a mobile-accessible digital system. The program has recorded steady adoption and an average of 83% conversion rate, supporting the hospital’s patient-focused digital transformation efforts.
Completing the wins is the Red Light Project, awarded under Advocacy/Public Awareness/Cause Related Programs. Led by the Hematology Section and the Hospital Blood Transfusion Committee, the initiative uses red lights atop the MakatiMed building to signal critically low blood supply and encourage timely blood donations, raising public awareness on the importance of blood donation.
Anchored on the spirit of “Pushing Past Possibilities”, these recognitions underscore MakatiMed’s continued commitment to moving beyond traditional approaches, strengthening employee wellbeing, enhancing patient access through digital innovation, and advancing advocacy initiatives that create meaningful impact on the community it serves.
