I am looking for an example of a marketing plan for a hospital

A key way to differentiate your hospital from your competitors is through exceptional customer service. A recent white paper from The Beryl Institute called "It's Not a Call, It's a Customer," explores the impact of customer service. However, before employees can demonstrate the passion required to provide excellent customer service, they themselves must feel valued.

I m heading the marketing of one of the best group of hospitals. Had two predissessors before me. Target which 1st one achieved , second one achieved 15% more and after that stagnent for 8 months till the time I took over. My growth was constant and it was increase on second one by 10% in 3rd month , 15% in 5th Month , 20% in 8th month and 25% in one year.But since past 4 months my efforts are also stagnent. My management wants a change. Need your help.

Sandeep, I wish I could help you. I don't know what can be done to be keep up with that kind of growth, especially in the short-term. Short-term growth is definitely one metric, but patient loyalty and satisfaction may be the true drivers of long-term growth. And that isn't a marketing campaign, but a top-to-bottom organizational culture focused on patients.

it is good

it was a good oputunity....

Hi, im going to join as a Manager marketing in a private hospital. please send me some nice advice and strategies so that i can increase the business

Answer: Paradigm Shift - from 20th to 21st century marketing and/or advertising PLUS reducing your overall daily operations costs to fund it.

Since the amount of money spent on Internet advertising is forecasted to overtake all other forms of advertising combined in the not-too-distant future, it becomes paramount for your website to be positioned 'to be found' not only from within your local market, but worldwide for a number of reasons.

Once you get the 'eyes', then you can do whatever you want as far as marketing and customer service are concerned. Whether that person is in your market or has a family member, friend, or knows someone who knows someone else in your market (word-of-mouth advertising); or can benefit from the information found on your website, then it would become justifiable for you to change your 'business as usual' paradigm.

For example, if your hospital performs transplants or other organ-related surgeries, making your hospital the 'focal point' for the 'industry' would bring a whole lot more visitors to your website. This would include anyone who is trying to find info and services for themselves or loved ones. In that regard, your market would become the world since many travel long distances (including from other countries) to get healed or to again come as close as possible to being able to live a normal life.

This marketing strategy could also indirectly assist your hospital with their recruiting needs as potential future staff members who are impressed with your accomplishments, etc. may request to work there IF they can find your hospital's website amongst the many others located on the World Wide Web. This would represent a cost reduction in the HR department's budget since less resources and advertising may be required in the long run.

Here are two articles relating to this:

(1) Medical Marketing: Did the Medical Community Miss the Boat?
ibnetllc.com/site/content/view/77/90/

and...

(2) Domain Advertising Tips
DomainAdvertisingTips.com


When you use 21st century business development strategies to revamp your old 20th century daily operations strategies hospitalwide, you will find more money available for your marketing and advertising budget or use it to fund other projects, staff, etc.

There is much more to this, but maybe you can use this as another avenue to consider.

Just a thought...

Hello again.

As I read through postings on various venues asking for assistance with hospital marketing and marketing of other medical facilities, it's interesting to me that those questions and requests being made in 2007 and now in 2008 are essentially no different than those asked during the 20th century. This is, yet is not surprising. It seems to indicate that a minimum, if any, progress has been made to any significant extent to improve the state of the medical community. I then ask myself, 'how can this be in this technological age?'

In my opinion, hospitals and other medical service providers will continue to struggle and/or close their doors as long as those who are contributors to their marketing and daily operations resist changing their mindset and methodology. That prevents the right questions for the 21st century from being asked.

As long as the same ole approaches are used, expect the same ole results. Once decision-makers decide to accept what some believe are 'radical' changes, the demise of that institution/organization is probably eminent.

Again, what is the solution that will do more to attract enough business to become more successful? Answer: Change your paradigm. Become increasingly cost competitive but in a manner which is not too detrimental to the attitudes of your staff. Add more customer/patient-friendly services while improving your staff's working environment. Revamp/re-engineer your logistics for obvious reasons. Then scream your organization's benefits to the world! Make your organization the place folks are eager to work for and a place where patients go out of their way to be treated. Go back to square one with a twist.

How? Answer: Do more to integrate the 'real world' with the 'virtual world' (Internet/World Wide Web) in nearly all aspects of your organization. Add more automation and globalization in areas where you may not have thought of, yet. Globalization is a relative term and is mandatory even for localized community organizations. If you are not sure where or how to pinpoint these 'radical' change locations, ask (me).

In the interim, ask yourself - what aren't you doing that is actually contributing to the struggling of your facility? Believe me, the state of the medical industry is not just due to the state of our economy. Making changes may not be as hard as you might think. :)

(Also, reference my previous post at:
http://www.hospitalimpact.org/index.php/leadership/2005/08/02/tips_on_marketing_your_hospital#c17739)


Good Luck!

Informative site. I work in a private hospital of medium size, with 2 competitors in the city. My focus being Client services and events. Please share some best practices and new market trends / creative approaches. Thanks.

Marketing is not a limited area of work but it gives somany challenges to the Organization
1. Internal
2. External
A good planning will help to reduce the threats.

There are many articles online that describes the health benefits
of certain Vitamins, Minerals, anti oxidants and amino acids.
The problem I find with this is that most of these articles are written
by someone promoting the products and usually have no scientific evidence or
knowledge to prove all the heath benefits usually listed. It is difficult
to know who to believe and what miracle drugs will help you and which of
these drugs will just make someone else smile all the way to the bank.
And here comes the solution. To get proper guidance and solution for
your disease and for any medical help, just check in to our site.

Hello again.

So, how many of these hospital representatives, and medical and other professionals here feel satisfied about their progress in growing their hospital, medical center, practice, and/or department over the last year?

Have your methods worked, yet? If so, how did you do it? Were your marketing efforts successful? Was your marketing budget sufficient enough to accomplish your goals? If not, do you know why? I really am curious as others may be interested to know as well.

~~~
If you're still looking for answers, you really need to try something new, especially if the old ways didn't work in this global environment.

~~~~~
To begin, look OUTSIDE of the marketing and advertising side of the Internet / Web for just a moment to REALLY recognize the strengths, global reaching power, and automation ability the Internet has available for the daily operations of your organization.

When utilized MASTERFULLY, costs can be cut significantly; the hospital's increased competitive edge becomes more apparent to all as more money is freed up to fatten multiple budgets, including advertising, staffing, equipment and research; and their competitors must stop long enough to try to figure out how that hospital actually did it!

Understanding the step-by-step details of the 'HOW' is not at all difficult. You first need to change your old paradigms and create new ones and be willing to learn from others.

HOW, you ask?

Find a FREE global business community where you are able to ask specific questions about your particular situation and get answers 24/7. Then, seek out the profitizer's strategies and techniques.

I found that global business community and so far, it is one of the best for any business owner, manager, business wannabes, employees who have the responsibility for improving their department's performance, etc.

~~~~~
See for yourself and ask your questions there. Folks in small businesses also have great ideas. Be open to their responses, too.

Also, make sure you stay up on the latest information here on HospitalImpact.org.

I have seen the light:

"Love Your Patients" is the

only marketing book you will

ever need!

Hello all, I am a cardiologist. I would like to shed some information regarding the medical website marketing. In recent times, especially because of increasing recession, I have seen a great amount of increase in the medical websites. Internet marketing is gaining the attention by healthcare industries also. And web marketing companies like medical web experts and many other proves out to be really beneficial in ameliorating your business. Internet has been and will be one of the prime source for drawing a large portion of the market. Your blog provides the excellent way to reach to the market without the bounds of recession and location. SEO helps popularize your product in such a sluggish economy. And internet marketing can outstand traditional and comparatively costlier marketing. I have certainly experienced that online marketing can lead your company to a never-before-thought heights. The internet marketing has provided the new horizon to the marketing ideas for healthcare industries. Generally, searching over the internet, I came to know about the strength of internet marketing. I thought of being a part in this, and hence decided to create a website. Being novice, or I should say careless regarding the pros and cons while entering into the online marketing, I end up making a website from a small group of technicians at very low cost (thought of saving some money there). All they did was just some manipulations on a template easily available from the internet, and adding some attractive images, and all sort of those things. Reading all over the internet regarding the web optimization techniques, I tried to implement on my website. But somehow, all my efforts were thwarted off because of the website design, which I was unaware of. All my efforts were drowned. Then I come across a medical web designing company named medical web experts, and from there I got my website completely reconstructed, marketed and optimized. Then it was the case that after few months there was a distinguished increase in patient count. So, sometimes, we should let the work to their experts. Medical web companies really help gaining presence over the internet. As we are experts in heart surgery, they certainly are in internet surgery. Lol!! You can find some really good information regarding the facilities that can be incorporated in websites from www.moderndesigninc.com. Prolific marketing strategies and ideas of web marketing companies can boom any company using some simple rules of web marketing.
