In a significant advancement for healthcare advertising, PatientPoint has announced the expansion of its Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation, affirming its metrics across its extensive digital display network in more than 30,000 doctor's offices across the nation. This milestone builds upon its initial accreditation granted in 2024, reinforcing PatientPoint's status as the leading point-of-care publisher to earn such recognition.
Point-of-care marketing is recognized as one of the most consumer-trusted environments; it engages patients during their most attentive moments—at the doctor's office. This unique setting fosters a receptive audience for relevant healthcare messages. According to a recent survey conducted by Solli Research in collaboration with PatientPoint, an overwhelming 94% of pharmaceutical marketers acknowledged the efficacy of advertising in such environments, with 75% highlighting the channel's ability to maintain compliance and message control as a key competitive advantage.
PatientPoint's newly attained MRC accreditation promises to amplify not just the value of point-of-care advertising but also the credibility of the metrics it provides, allowing pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods (CPG), and over-the-counter (OTC) wellness brands to increase their confidence when investing in this critical channel. This trust is essential for fostering further growth and innovation in the industry.
Sean Slovinski, CEO of PatientPoint, shared, "Achieving MRC accreditation is an important milestone reflecting our steadfast commitment to transparency and excellence. We pride ourselves on this validation, which positions us alongside other significant channels such as out-of-home (OOH) and connected television (CTV), establishing a new standard of accountability in the point-of-care space. The MRC's meticulous process not only elevates our industry but also equips advertisers to make informed and effective decisions in an increasingly complex media landscape."
This accreditation results from an intricate audit covering several operational areas, including the measures implemented to uphold the integrity of its systems, the onboarding process of third parties, methodologies for data collection and measurement, data reporting standards, compliance practices, and verification of healthcare professional presence across various locations.
PatientPoint’s MRC accreditation is part of a broader set of strategic developments as it advances throughout 2026. The company is diversifying its offerings to encompass programmatic buying with the introduction of PatientPoint Health Audiences, launching its inaugural Consumer Health Network tailored specifically for CPG and OTC wellness brands, and initiating a nationwide colorectal cancer screening campaign titled 'The Big Screen,' featuring well-known media personality Katie Couric.
The Media Rating Council is a vital independent nonprofit organization that fosters trust in the media ecosystem. Through its stringent accreditation process, it ensures transparency, reliability, and comparability in measurement methodologies, empowering media buyers to make informed purchasing decisions.
