I don't know about you...but I like polls. Anytime I see one on LinkedIn, or wherever, I respond because I find the data interesting. This is relevant to the Freshpaint 5 because...
I'm adding a new piece to the Freshpaint 5 each week: polls! I'm going to add a question to each newsletter and I'll share and discuss the results in next week's newsletter.
The goal with this is to share knowledge, struggles, and commonalities among healthcare marketers. We can all learn from each other and this newsletter has almost become its own community so I want to make it easier to share knowledge among readers. And who knows, these poll questions might eventually turn into the Freshpaint Research Hub, but that's a looong term goal. This is just step 1.
On to the rest of the newsletter, here's what we're talking about:
Viant DSP integration
Freshpaint in Dallas!
CU Medicine's success with Freshpaint
The newest online tracking technology class action lawsuit
Let's get into it...

Freshpaint's Compliant Corner
University of Colorado Medicine (CU Medicine), the largest multispecialty physician group in the Rocky Mountain region, faced significant challenges in balancing digital marketing initiatives with stringent HIPAA compliance requirements. After identifying risks associated with traditional tracking technologies, CU Medicine proactively sought a solution that would uphold patient privacy without compromising marketing performance.
By implementing Freshpaint's Healthcare Privacy Platform, CU Medicine was able to:
Restore website tracking: The team regained visibility into website performance and marketing campaigns, including those with Google and Meta, who refuse to sign BAAs.
Reintroduce Google Analytics: CU Medicine’s preferred reporting platform was back online, fully compliant.
Improve data transparency: The Freshpaint dashboard provided real-time insights into where data was being sent and ensured HIPAA compliance.
Enable compliant maps and video hosting: CU Medicine replaced Google Maps with Freshpaint’s compliant solution, and re-uploaded video content on their website, enabling patient engagement without privacy risks.
This strategic move not only protected patient privacy but also empowered CU Medicine's marketing team to operate with renewed confidence and efficiency.
Privacy-related class action lawsuits continue to rise, and the latest comes from Seattle, where Virginia Mason Medical Center has agreed to a $3.5 million settlement over allegations of sharing patient data with third-party advertisers like Facebook and Google without consent.
For healthcare marketers, this underscores the importance of safeguarding patient information and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations. Privacy-first marketing is essential to maintain trust and avoid legal repercussions.
