participate in the following discussions, go to
this week's Discussion link in the left
navigation. Business and Strategic Planning   The
business plan of a healthcare organization
describes the purpose of the HCO and lends
structure to its organizational goals. The
strategic plan is used as a directional guide in
other words, how the organization will fulfill
its purpose and put ideas into action. The
strategic plan also prioritizes the
organizations resources as a means to fulfill
the business plan. Simply put, the business plan
is the what, and the strategic plan is the
how.

Marketing FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT
www.mha626mentor.com   Patient-Centered
Marketing   This discussion will allow you to
generate content for your Final Project regarding
your chosen healthcare organizations customers
and demographics. As mentioned in Chapter 7 of
the course text, marketing involves both the
creation and distribution of goods and services
(Stevens, R., Silver, L. S., 2015, section 7.1
What is Marketing, para. 4). Marketing
departments should be concerned with customer
needs and meeting those needs in the market
place. The marketing concept for HCOs, therefore,
is patient-centered. However, marketing concerns
within a HCO should not be focused on patients in
general, but on patients who are part of a
pre-selected market segment (i.e., specific
customers with specific needs).
