New social media management suite helps healthcare teams create, schedule, manage, and measure content across all major social media platforms
AUSTIN, TX — September 28, 2026 — rater8, the leader in healthcare reputation management, today announced a major expansion of the rater8 Visibility Engine (raVE) platform with comprehensive social media management tools. rater8 now gives healthcare organizations a centralized way to manage their social media presence across multiple channels.
With the expanded functionality, healthcare teams can create and schedule content, manage approvals, respond to comments and messages, and track performance without logging into each social platform separately. Content can be published across Apple Business Connect, Facebook, Google Business Profile, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and organization websites from a single calendar.
The launch supports the growing need for healthcare organizations to include social media as a crucial component of their online reputation strategy. Patients form impressions from reviews, search results, social channels, and AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, which pull from publicly available content. According to rater8’s 2026 Patient Choice Report, 30% of patients who searched for a new doctor in the past year cited social media as an influence on their decision. For healthcare organizations that take their reputation seriously, an active, consistent social presence influences how they are seen, trusted, and chosen.
“Patients are getting a feel for a healthcare organization long before they walk through the door. Social media plays a part in that first impression, but it can be tough to manage,” said Evan Steele, Founder and CEO of rater8. “rater8 gives teams a simpler way to stay present, engage with their communities, and understand what’s working without creating more work for busy staff. Healthcare teams shouldn’t have to jump between six different platforms just to keep their social presence active and consistent.”
Social media management tools are now available to all clients on the raVE platform. To learn more, please visit https://rater8.com/social-media-management/.
