...Marketing Plan: MHS 1 Medical Home Service Keller School Of Management –Online MM522 Ben Parker Instructor Rodney Cullifer January 2011 Final Draft Marketing Plan: MHS 2 Executive Summary My plan includes a service and not necessarily a new product. The service is a complete healthcare service that is mobile and is dedicated to the treatment of diabetes in central and southeastern Ohio. Some of the services are provided by other pharmaceutical companies and some of the service is provided by current healthcare providers, but this service is educationally based and provides care to all diabetic patients. All patients will be accepted by the Mobile Healthcare Service (MHS). Private insurances will be accepted, managed care, and cash payers. But they must be referred to MHS by their primary care doctor or by the specialist such as an endocrinologist. First, I need to discuss how the service is set up and what the team will look like. The team will consist of a Nurse Practitioner, Doctor, Certified Diabetes Educator/Dietician, and Medical Assistant. This team will not be sponsored or run by the pharmaceutical companies and it will not be run by government money or grants. This service will be considered as a third party company providing additional...

Named the top acute-care community hospital in metro Atlanta in U.S. News and World Report’s Best Hospitals list, Piedmont Atlanta consistently ranks in the top five among metro Atlanta hospitals in patient satisfaction scores.

They need to effectively target potential clients with messages designed to increase awareness of their services. “The decision makers in health care are not always immediately apparent.

...1980s, the healthcare industry has been discussing the need for electronic health records. And indeed, the past 20 years have seen the industry move toward a completely computerized medical record. A variety of technologies have contributed to this evolutionary process, including point-of-care clinical documentation, clinical data repositories, and automated results. The cumulative effect has resulted in slow but steady progress toward a complete electronic health record for the healthcare industry. Clinical and administrative data needed to assess and improve quality, identify potential cost savings, and make strategic decisions have become important as the pressure on healthcare rises. Current trends in healthcare that will drive information technology priorities in the immediate future include the following • Concern about medical errors and overall quality of care • Continued pressure for cost containment • Consumer empowerment • Growth in the use of evidence-based medicine • Demand for protection of privacy and confidentiality of information Effective health information systems are ones that improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare delivery costs. Since most developers are not clinicians, and most clinicians are not developers, to implement these health information systems successfully we must have some understanding of the healthcare domain and adopt techniques that are attuned to managing the innate complexity of health information and healthcare in general ...

...D., the efforts of a mid-Atlantic acute-care hospital system to develop a vertically integrated clinic health system result in allegations of antitrust, excessive healthcare costs, disruption of physician referral patterns, and use of harsh collection practices, all of which cause a negative reaction in the community. Also, Dr. Murphy’s efforts to become a comprehensive vertically integrated system have continued: establishment of a medical school partnership, expansion of its facilities, and increase in number of salaried physicians by purchasing private practices. Dr. Murphy asserts that the business plan of Carilion Clinic will moderate the effects of the “broken” U.S. healthcare system by integrating services that range from primary care to comprehensive cancer treatments and remission monitoring. In 19th century, the antitrust division of the U.S. Department of Justice sought to block the merger of two medium-sized community hospitals, foreshadowing other, somewhat questionable trade practices in the Shenandoah Valley. Carilion Clinic is a major employer in Roanoke, Virginia, but members of the community base expressed serious concerns about its methods and policies. The harsh collection practices of organization caused some patients to have liens placed on their homes, economic pressures on group practices to sell or relocate due to internal referral patterns, and allegations that the high costs of care may...

...Parshayla Brown Chapter Problems 1-8 1. There are several prerequisites for the following scenarios: (a) politician running for a political office – a party is trying to fulfill certain needs while another party service might be unsatisfied with consumers (vision). (b) a consumer seeking physical therapy – party must have something to exchange. For example, a consumer can recover from certain injuries and one must have health insurance or finances to cover the cost for the service (capacity). (c) a company choosing healthcare coverage for its employees – the desire or ability of one party to meet the needs of another .Consumers needs healthcare coverage for medical attention (actionable step). 2. In my opinion, the person(s) who developed the program might have been inexperienced in marketing. Some may not have visualized a need for the women’s health center. There are several possible program failures: sending the wrong message, media choices abound (justify the right decision), customers do not want the women’s health center; change of mind delivered on promises or requests of basic information; and expectations are not relevant to others. 3. The potential target markets for an orthopedic group practice to develop a pediatric sports medicine program are listed below: • Choosing a location with heavy traffic to gain a large number of people.

...is 'Marketing' Marketing are activities of a company associated with buying and selling a product or service. It includes advertising, selling and delivering products to people. People who work in marketing departments of companies try to get the attention of target audiences by using slogans, packaging design, celebrity endorsements and general media exposure. The four 'Ps' of marketing are product, place, price and promotion. Now hospitals are facing the same world of transparency and competition, and they would do well to consult the marketing playbook hotels and other service businesses use to enhance their customers’ experience. Marketing theory is driving a shift from provider empowerment to customer empowerment. In the past customers did not have the expertise, or access to information, to judge service professionals. What a lawyer, teacher, or doctor said was taken at face value. Now the efficacy of that information is checked online and experiences are shared with other customers. Marketing techniques A marketing strategy is an overall marketing plan designed to meet the needs and requirements of customers. The plan should be based on clear objectives. A number of techniques will then be employed to make sure that the marketing plan is effectively delivered. Marketing techniques are the tools used by the marketing department. The marketing department will set out to identify the most appropriate techniques to employ in order to make profits. These marketing techniques...

...Retail Sales: Is There a Place in Your Business? By Randy Schmitke, CPA, MBA You have probably asked yourself or your staff questions like these: Should we get more aggressively into shoes? Should our company grow into the area of post-mastectomy? Would it be beneficial to our business and our patients if we carried some soft goods and walking aids in our offices? If you have asked these questions, then you have thought about retail sales as a part of your O&P operation. What is "retail" and why might you want to enter the retail game? First, we should define what "retail" is in the context of this article. Although most facilities have a "retail" fee schedule for all the appropriate billing codes, this is not what we are referring to here. The American Heritage Dictionary defines "retail" as the sale of goods or commodities in small quantities directly to the consumer. The key word in this definition is "commodity" this denotes a product which involves little or no customization and is readily available for purchase, most likely in a variety of locations. Clearly, products such as extra-depth shoes, canes, and select compression hosiery would fall into the category of commodities. These products need little or no customization and can be found in shoe stores, home medical equipment stores, pharmacies, and even department stores. Businesses selling these types of products differentiate themselves primarily by focusing on selection, service, or location. Of course,...
