New Benchmark Report Reveals That Australian Healthcare Websites Are Falling Behind
SYDNEY, Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Monsido, a leading web governance provider, has released a benchmark report 
analysing the websites of the Top 30 Healthcare Organisations in Australia for 
their performance in Web Accessibility, Content Quality Assurance, Industry 
Content Compliance, SEO, and Response Time.

The benchmark revealed that the top 5 Websites Overall belonged to Virtus 
Health, St Vincent's Health Australia, Starpharma Holdings, Cochlear Ltd, and 
Healius. The Top 3 of each benchmarked category are detailed in the report.

For the Industry Content Compliance category, using their Policies tool, 
Monsido scanned all 30 healthcare organisations websites to measure their 
compliance to common business policies and healthcare industry standards. For 
example, Monsido implemented policies to 'Find all COVID Content Updates' and 
'Find all terms to avoid when writing about gender, age, and disabilities'.  
Monsido found that the average Industry Content Compliance Score was only 76% 
with the lowest at 52%. Pacific Smiles Group, St Vincent's Health Australia, 
and Ramsay Health lead the pack in this category. 

Improving Web Accessibility and working to comply with WCAG guidelines is 
becoming more common in Australia, yet there is a lot of room for improvement 
in the healthcare sector. The report revealed that the three leaders in the Web 
Accessibility category were: Starpharma Holdings, St Vincent's Health 
Australia, and Pacific Smiles Group. 

"Complying to company branding guidelines and industry regulations can be a 
challenge but is essential for the success of healthcare organisations. When 
healthcare organisations can maintain compliant, accessible, and error-free 
website content, website visitors and customers can more easily access 
essential information and online services. We hope this report accelerates the 
conversation around the importance of user-friendly and compliant websites." - 
Sam Rahmanian, VP of Global Sales, Monsido
