/in /by

The final project for this course is the creation of a marketing and communication plan. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because when working in a management position at a healthcare organization, you could be involved in selecting or creating a healthcare marketing plan.

The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions.

These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine

The last assignment to complete the final paper is based on marketing and communication strategies based on this proposed service:

Proposed Service for Marketing

The proposed service for the hospital is a new health payment plan for the uninsured. The plan will be designed to make care more affordable for the out-of-pocket payers since this is one of the most expensive care payment plans. This strategy addresses the opportunity of developing new services that will make Bellevue Hospital safer and more accessible to more people without the ability to afford insurance plans.

The rubric for both assignments are attached as well as part one and part of the final paper.

Bellevue Hospital and Its Current Services

Bellevue Hospital is a non-profit making organization that is locally owned. It offers a range of services whose aim is better healthcare of the community. To begin with, the hospital offers a range of ambulatory services on-site. They provide patients with high quality and convenient care in outpatient and private setting. Most patients do not like receiving medication through oral, injection, or infusion, but prefer the use of IV. Bellevue Hospital also offers aquatic therapy, which provides patients with a chance to receive therapeutic services with low impact. It has been proven that pain is typically minimized or eliminated in aquatic therapy since the body is supported by water, which in turn offloads the weight directed at joints.

Additionally, the hospital provides cardiac rehabilitation services for clients who have already undergone surgery and are recovering. This program seeks to speed up the recovery of the patients and also minimize the chances of it re-occurring in the future. Patients learn how to improve physical fitness and exercise through this program (Stiehl, 2017). Also, the hospital offers specialized education for diabetic patients to help them create and maintain a healthy lifestyle through topics such as monitoring, education, medication, exercise, and diet. Bellevue Hospital, also using advanced technology, offers diagnostic imaging convenient services that fit various needs of a whole family.

Moreover, it provides family health services through different appointments, and they often accept new patients. Their rehabilitation team can complete services that are related to work for families so that they improve their safety and health, productivity, minimize injuries, and reduce costs. Besides, the hospital gives full lactation services, and they support the rights of the baby to breastfeed.

Ways the Organization’s Mission, Vision, and Goals Serve Its Stakeholders

The mission statement helps the stakeholders by taking care of the patients. Bellevue works to prevent illness, treat the injured, and heal the sick among its stakeholders (William, N. R., & Joan, R. (2015). In addition, through their mission, they protect their trust so that it can be a progressive and quality healthcare facility. Using its vision statement, the hospital ensures that its stakeholders have the necessary resources which could help them attain high health levels throughout life. In addition, they can benefit from the hospital through its courage, integrity, compassion, and respect for their confidentiality and individuality. Bellevue hospital is also progressive in its provision and anticipation of future health services. Finally, the hospital is reliable and always available to serve the community whenever they need it.

The Current Target Market of Bellevue Hospital

The target market for this hospital currently is substance use disorder patients. To reach them, the hospital has formed a task force that would help it find ways in which it can achieve this group. People in this group usually start using drugs for a desire to experiment with them; then, they go on to consume them occasionally, and finally, they end up using them intensively and sometimes developing a substance use disorder. This progression is complex and is only partially known. The process depends on the interactions between the substance, the user, and the environment. Treatment of this disorder varies depending on the substance and circumstances. The specific treatment depends on the drug consumed, but usually consists of advice and sometimes requires the use of other substances. The support of the family and the support groups helps to maintain the person’s commitment to interrupting consumption. Since the sharing of needles is a frequent cause of HIV infection, programs to reduce their incidence are carried out. Its objective is to reduce the infections due to the use of drugs in which they cannot stop using them. Therefore, consumers are given sterile needles and syringes so that they do not reuse those of other users. This strategy helps reduce the transmission and costs to society of HIV infection and hepatitis.

ethical considerations 

/in /by

For this discussion, you will consider the relationship between physicians and health organizations and examine how this informs healthcare marketing. You will also consider the role of the patient and customer and the ways in which they shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare, and you will examine how a healthcare organization’s marketing goals can most effectively target these individuals. In addition, you will determine the ethical considerations that need to be addressed when developing a marketing strategy that includes patients and physicians among its target audience.

To begin, review the module resources. Then, consider the difference between a patient and a customer and the role of physicians and patients in healthcare marketing. In your initial post, address the following:

  1. What are some of the ways that people shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare and medical care, and how can a healthcare organization’s marketing goals most effectively target these customers? Consider the SMART goal framework to support your response.
  2. How can the relationship between physicians and health organizations (think of the complex power structure in hospitals) pose challenges to decision making in healthcare marketing?
  3. What do you think are the most important ethical considerations that a healthcare organization must address when developing a marketing strategy for its patients and its physicians? Consider the methods for ethical decision-making you studied in Module Three.

In responding to your classmates, do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Why or why not? What considerations did they discuss that you perhaps had not thought of? What suggestions can you provide your peers to help them further develop their conclusions?

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)

To complete the Work Product Assessment, you will select a recent (within the last 5 years) national or state health policy that has had substantial impact on healthcare consumers. Specifically, you will be looking at a high-impact health policy to analyze the diverse and divergent perspectives that informed its development and then to assess its impact at the local organizational level. You will then write a persuasive letter to a policymaker presenting the perspective of an organization and other stakeholders.

Detailed and current information on health policy may be found on many websites, including those of:

  • American Hospital Association (AHA)
  • Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
  • The Kaiser Family Foundation
  • Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF)
  • American Public Health Association (APHA)
  • AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons)

After choosing a health policy, select a local healthcare organization that is impacted by that policy. This might be a public agency, a healthcare facility, or any organization substantially influenced by the policy. It might also be the healthcare organization in which you work. You will evaluate the impact of the policy on the organization’s operations and outcomes. You will also write a letter to a policymaker who has influence over the action of the policy. This task requires you to take a large and complex topic (the policy) and synthesize it into digestible information that can be used to inform the policymaker of issues raised by the policy.

This assessment has two-parts.  Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.

PART 1

In a 3- to 4-page report:

  • Briefly explain the issue addressed by the policy.
  • Explain the background of the policy’s formulation.
  • Describe key stakeholders involved in the evolution of the policy.
  • Categorize which of the stakeholders would be considered advocacy groups and which would be classified as business interests. Explain how you differentiate the two categories and why this differentiation matters.
  • Explain the diverse perspectives of the key stakeholder involved in the evolution of the policy.
  • Explain the role of various government agencies and officials, including public health agencies, in the evolution, formulation, and implementation of the policy.
  • Briefly explain the diverse perspectives of the government agencies and officials with regard to the policy.
  • Determine the ongoing role of law and regulation in the evolution, formulation, and implementation of the policy.
  • Identify key local organizations and stakeholders impacted by this policy.
  • Briefly explain the overarching diverse perspectives of the organizations and stakeholders with regard to the policy.
  • Analyze the impact of the policy on those organizational stakeholders.

PART 2

For Part 2, identify a policymaker who is a member of the U.S. Congress from your state of residence. If you are from a territory, you will identify the equivalent legislative person. If you are an international student, you may choose any person who is responsible for enacting healthcare policies or laws in your area. You will write a letter to the policymaker that focuses on the organization you selected, for Part 1, in support of or opposition to the issue you selected. Your letter should be written in a respectful tone and focus on the evidence supporting your position, instead of merely expressing your personal thoughts and opinions. You must also provide evidence from the peer-reviewed literature to support your position. The letter should use a professional letter format, including salutation and address.

In a 1- to 2-page letter:

  • Explain the relevance of the health policy to the organization.
  • Describe the expected impact of the policy on organizational outcomes.
