QUESTIONS

  1. What are the benefits of strategic group analysis and strategic mapping as components of the health care strategic planning process?

  2. Formulate at least three questions that are well-suited to initiate strategic thinking regarding service area and competitors for a health care organization. Why do you feel that these questions are so important to pose?

  3. Many Americans are now traveling outside of the U. S. for elective medical procedures. What does this mean in terms of service area competitor analysis? What would you do as a hospital CEO or senior manager to keep your own patients at home and receiving services at your own facility rather than traveling abroad for care?

The response should be at least 200 words for question 1 and two. The response should be at least 500 words in length for question 3.
