Company Snapshot

Sutter Health is one of Northern California's largest not-for-profit health systems, serving more than 100 communities across their hospitals, urgent care centers, physician offices, and specialty clinics. Managing online reputation at this scale required a smarter, more scalable approach.

The Challenge

After nearly a decade on their previous ORM platform, Sutter's digital marketing team was hitting real limits: slow support, no AI capabilities, and a manual review process that could not keep up. Concerns about switching costs had kept them on the platform longer than they wanted, but the team knew they needed a partner that could modernize their reputation program without disrupting operations.

The Birdeye Solution

With Birdeye, Sutter Health moved to a unified AI platform built for enterprise healthcare. Reviews AI automates patient outreach and routes incoming reviews through a tiered response system. Standard reviews are handled by Birdeye's Managed Review Response team, while escalated cases are automatically ticketed and assigned to Sutter's community managers so they can focus their time where it matters most.

Listings AI keeps provider and location profiles accurate across Google, Facebook, Apple, Bing, Yelp, and healthcare directories. Insights AI turns thousands of patient reviews into clear sentiment trends leadership can act on. Competitors AI and Search AI give Sutter a real-time view of how they stack up against regional health systems and how often their brand appears in AI search results across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
