Heath Care Marketing

Paper Summary:

This paper begins with a general explanation of the marketing department of any company or organization. The paper then shows how the health care sector, the biggest industry in the U.S., requires substantial and effective marketing, as well. The paper shows how health care marketing has had to adapt to home care as well as the Internet.

From the Paper:

"Furthermore, the home is now the choice for certain types of health care. Home health care is not a replacement for all hospital care, but it has become an important setting for delivering preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitative, and long-term maintenance services. The health care that patients receive in the privacy and comfort of their own homes breaks the past pattern of confining sick, handicapped, or recovering individuals to hospitals. Expansion of Medicare benefits and the rising costs of health care are some of the factors which are moving the market toward increased amounts of home care. Home health care has become the fastest growing segment of health care services, and the second fastest growing industry in the economy as of October 1994."
