You're right -- the ER staff love the service, because patients are in a noticably better mood when they haven't been cooling their heels in the waiting room for 3 hours.

The hospital's web site has a link to us on its front page, but this hospital hasn't invested much in developing their web presence. I'd like our next partner hospital to be one that has a stronger, more high-visibility web site.

If we could get on the first page of google for "<metro> hospitals" or "<metro> emergency room" that would be huge, I'd think. (But again, it's a local service, so getting link-fu is difficult right now)

Flyers & posters. Have the triage staff hand out a flyer along with the visit forms. It's the kind of thing that people will take note of and use later, and they may even tell their friends.
