Marketing forces and diversification strategies
Marketing Forces and Diversification
Diversity and competition among caregivers are driving forces for defining major ethnic target groups in the community, targeting marketing to those groups and tailoring health care to the needs of those groups. An astute and successful example is given in Noonan's and Savolaine's article about a Midwestern community hospital. Aware of the community's increasing diversity and mindful of rigorous competition among health care providers, the community hospital was not content with service area analysis of ethnicities and cultures; rather, the hospital endeavored to garner specific data about the ethnicity of obstetric patients who were discharged and physician's specific information regarding the ethnicities of their patients. Using this data, the hospital defined 4 major ethnic target groups and proceeded to intelligently market to those groups while tailoring the health care experience to those groups. The result was continued quality of care above the national average and increased patient satisfaction, even as the obstetric patient population significantly increased. The intelligence and success of those marketing and health care measures to better attract and serve a diverse community should compel a hospital CEO to incorporate the same approach to better attract and service diverse ethnicities and cultures in his/her own community.
