Remember when patients took only their doctor’s advice when deciding where to seek healthcare? Today consumers are taking control of their healthcare and “shopping” the market - looking for the best place for them. Will they choose you?

 

“Transparency has become one of the key marketing issues for healthcare providers across the country. But this trend - the provision of useful quality and price information to key audiences but in particular to consumers - is really only in its very early stages. Providers are wrestling with how to implement a transparency strategy that will be both meaningful and a key competitive differentiator for their organization. In this book, Maureen Larkin has pulled together case studies of provider organizations who are on the cutting edge of the development and implementation of transparency as strategy. She profiles the challenges they face, the approach they have taken, and the challenges and results seen to date." - David Marlowe, principal of Strategic Marketing Concepts
 

Successfully communicate the cost-effective, quality care your hospital delivers. Many states are requiring hospitals to post quality, pricing, or patient satisfaction data online, and for some consumers, that information is already a key factor in how they make their healthcare decisions.

 

As this information becomes more available, it is more important than ever for marketers to get involved in their hospital’s transparency efforts and manage the information consumers want and how it is presented to them.

Case Studies in Transparency educate consumers shares real-world examples of hospitals that have embraced the “patients as customers” philosophy and are already responding to consumers’ need for more information. From each case study learn how to:

  • Communicate quality information in a clear and concise manner

  • Increase public awareness and interest
