Reference to the attached question,

Like other products and services, health care products and services must be marketed to potential consumers. To do this effectively, health care organizations must develop marketing plans. These plans provide organizations and their leaders with common goals for their products and services. Moreover, by relating the marketing plan to the mission, vision, and objectives of the organization, marketing plans become a tool in the strategic decision-making process. For the Final Project, you create a marketing plan for a health care organization.

To prepare:

Select one of the following case studies from the Learning Resources to be the focus of your Final Project:

Philips Healthcare: Marketing the HealthSuite Digital Platform

Thrive or Revive? The Kaiser Permanente “Thrive” Marketing Programs

Castlight Health: Disrupting the Health Care Industry

Carolinas HealthCare System: Consumer

AIP Healthcare Japan: Investing in Japan’s Retirement Home Market

Access Health CT: Marketing Affordable Care

Review the case study and consider how you might market the health care organization. For guidance on developing a marketing plan, refer to Chapter 15, “Marketing Planning” in this week’s Learning Resources.
