Abstract
This report looks at some of the issues facing hospitals in terms of consulting and marketing within the hospital. Specifically, the report looks at consulting and marketing in regard to Medicare programs and perceived problems in the current system that limit the delivery of quality healthcare to all and not just some clients. The paper also looks at what obstacles exist to successful marketing and consulting relationships in the healthcare environment. The report concludes with recommendations for future research, which also has been impacted by the new competitive healthcare environment in a way that has many hospitals and other healthcare facilities such as nursing homes and home-care providers struggling to make ends meet.

Introduction
Consulting and Marketing in the Hospital Environment

Obstacles to Effective Marketing

Effective Research

From the Paper
"As mentioned above in the introduction, consulting and marketing are especially important to the present hospital environment, because of changes in the managed care system which has made hospitals more competitive, thus requiring more marketing efforts than was previously the case. Before the proliferation of the managed care system, hospitals were working on a basically cost-stable paradigm in which administrators did not have to worry overmuch about the financial bottom line, because the market was generally regulated and not thrown open entirely to a free enterprise type of system. Thus there wasn't much call in this epoch for marketing in terms of its being a necessity rather than a luxury that some hospitals could afford. But with the changes in managed care, including the proliferation of Medicare, which happened in the latter part of the twentieth century, this situation changed, making marketing and consulting move more towards the forefront of many hospital operations."

Abstract
This paper explains that psychology consulting involves a psychologist working with a team or group of people to make recommendations concerning psychological matters within the group. The paper offers some examples of where consultants might be used, such as in hospitals, the police and crime investigations, and university studies. The paper shows why a psychology student might choose to go into consultancy over private practice. The paper then shows the various stages involved in the consultancy process, from initial contact through to termination of the problem at hand.

From the Paper
"For psychologists who have been engaged in consulting, one thing that they are all likely to discover is that the nature of psychological consulting is the same regardless of the medium in which it is performed. This means that a psychologist who consults for a corporation will find that much of the type of work he or she does there will be similar to the type of work that will be done while consulting for a non-profit organization, or any other group. This is because psychological consultants are most often brought in to an organization in order to help the members of that organization to deal with the interpersonal issues that affect them at work and that affect their work performance."

Abstract
This paper offers a case study of the Tompkins Consulting Group, a firm offering specialized consultancy in numerous aspects, including diversity training. The paper presents the endeavors launched by EEO specialist Dan River in order to find consultants that could help the organization Ambiguity Unlimited in various tasks, including their reaching of the BoD directive. The paper notes that despite overall positive results, some negative aspects were revealed, and an analysis of the limitations encountered will support the future development of Tompkins. The paper concludes that the need for improvement is evident in the failure to convince all employees to respond to surveys, the lack of entertaining interactions with the audience, material shortages, classes of long duration, digressions from the core subject, and a failure to relate the subjects taught to the individuality and application for each employee.

"To ensure that they have the undivided attention of their audience, the Tompkins consultants ought to organize their teaching activities into classes of short duration. This would ensure that the employees maintain their concentration abilities. Also, the schedule should be adapted to the unique needs of each group and when the pre-planned schedule does not satisfy the team, the trainer and the participants should set the breaks according to their desires on the site of the program (Training Point, 2009). The Sustainability Center states that a training session should not extend over five days and each training day should not exceed five hours."

From the Paper
"The list of strategies implemented within the business community is endless and a primary specification that must be made in this sense is that there is no perfect recipe for success and that organizations must customize the theoretical suggestions as to best suit the particular demands of the industry where they activate, the market they serve, the corporate features, but also the resource limitations. Then, once this is realized, executives must be able to quantify the beneficial results achieved with the implementation of the new strategies. A quite useful tool in this sense is the BCG matrix.
"However the environmental changes have affected all business sectors, the Information Technology industry is probably the most eloquent representative of the current dynamics. And they consequently set the trend for more and more modifications. But the IT companies are at their basis economic entities; therefore they are guided by economic and marketing principles. Otherwise put, software and hardware product and service organizations are the most relevant example of how even the best organizations must play by the market rules and combine product characteristics with customer needs. To best exemplify this statement, the current paper will analyze the share-growth matrix of an IT company. But before doing this, the BCG matrix will be explained and exemplified, company information will be provided, and then, a short description of the BCG benefits and limitations will be given."
