Given the ever-changing status on health care reform, hospital administrators and physicians are faced with the challenge of meeting the growing needs of patients, as well as their own internal priorities.

Download or read book Squeezing a New Service Into a Crowded Market written by Dennis J. Cahill and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Squeezing a New Service Into a Crowded Market begins to answer the question of how to successfully offer another service in what appears to be an already crowded market. Is there room for one more hospital? Another law firm? Another newspaper? Another spreadsheet? Yes, according to Dennis Cahill. He shows readers how--through theory and case studies--to define, produce, and market a new service in a field where there already exists a similar service. He provides a roadmap for successful planning and introduction of new services. This roadmap uses perceptual mapping and case applications to show how adding a new service should and should not be done. Perceptual mapping is fully described and its use to find gaps in the service coverage is detailed. Three case studies of services which have been introduced into crowded markets are used to show how and how not to offer a new service. Cahill looks at these services from the perspective of customer design and internal development. Both practitioners of services marketing and advanced marketing students who want the "real world" application of the marketing theory learned in the classroom can benefit from Squeezing a New Service Into a Crowded Market. Part I explores the research necessary to utilize Cahill's approach. In Part II, Cahill presents detailed case examples from his own files of how various services were offered to crowded markets--and all failed. These case analyses dissect the failures, explain where, why, and how they failed, and interpose what could and should have been done to prevent--or at least reduce the probability of--a failure. Readers will clearly see the common thread running through these failures and will be able to avoid failures of their own. Part III deals with innovation and how to handle it in a service firm.

Download or read book Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care written by William Winston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival in the growing managed care environment requires the integration of financial analysis, market appraisal, and administrative management. The authors of Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care provide a unique tool for readers to enable them to make these successful management decisions in restructuring services. The unique approach in this book assists health care managers and prospective managers as they seek to solve the problem of how to deal with health care services that appear to be no longer productive. In Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care, the authors provide a solid theoretical base for what they have developed in MSR (Managed Service Restructuring)--a conscious--not crisis--management tool. They prepare readers for implementing MSR techniques by describing them in detail for their application to readers’situations. MSR approaches to planned health care management, as introduced in this book, help administrators channel scarce resources to the services the community wants and needs most. Facts and cases are offered as examples of when and how MSR techniques have been applied successfully. The authors also include failure cases where, if MSR techniques had been followed, health care providers would have survived in several communities. Incorporate the information in this book to enhance long-range planning and prevent closure of health care services needed by the community. Along with financial and marketing tools necessary for long-range planning, Goldman and Mukherjee list warning signals that alert professionals to the need to review the services and products offered. They also fully explore these areas: Product Life Cycle Boston Consulting Group’s Portfolio of Business (Growth Share Matrix) Product Development Product Planning Public Service of Health Care Providers Centers of Excellence Service Diversification/Consolidation Investment/Disinvestment Criteria Marketing in Competitive Environment for Health Services Health care managers, hospital administrators, and students in health services management programs can benefit from the focus on conscious planning in Managed Service Restructuring in Health Care. While many of the examples take place within acute care hospitals, the MSR approach and this book are designed to assist any health care administrator or manager. With knowledge of when and how services can be prolonged, professionals can more effectively lead their health care provider into a more competitive environment. The analyses used in the book should enhance many readers’knowledge of basic marketing and financial principles and theories important to restructuring and providing health services today.

Book excerpt: Risky Business tells in plain language the specific behaviors that indicate an employee has the potential to become violent, and it tells managers what to do--and what not to do--to prevent workplace violence. Author Lynne Falkin McClure describes in clear detail the eight major categories of behavioral clues to violence and includes anecdotes from work settings to help managers and others identify potentially violent employees. Most importantly, she emphasizes the precautions and steps managers must take when they see these “clues” in an employee’s behavior and how to create and maintain a work environment that is likely to protect everyone. Including the hiring--appraisal--training process, Risky Business focuses on system-wide, ongoing prevention steps organizations can take to protect everyone in the workplace. The book points out for readers informal organizational ‘policies’that unwittingly encourage potentially dangerous behaviors in employees and then offers alternative ‘policies’that create and maintain a safer environment. Managers, members of personnel, and public relations representatives learn how to deal effectively with the fears of workers and customers should a violent event occur that affects the company’s morale and image. However, readers are certain to gain the skills and foresight necessary to avert disaster before it strikes.
