IHP 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Healthcare marketing is a multidisciplinary area of public health practice. This approach draws from traditional marketing theories and principles, adding
evidence-based strategies focused on prevention, intervention, and health promotion. It involves the creation, communication, and delivery of health
information to diverse populations. As a healthcare professional, you will be asked to participate in the marketing process, and, as you will learn throughout the
course, there are various elements of a healthcare marketing plan.
The final project for this course is the creation of a marketing and communication plan. The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency
because when working in a management position at a healthcare organization, you could be involved in selecting or creating a healthcare marketing plan. The
project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
IHP-510-01: Analyze internal and external market factors that impact marketing decisions and strategies in a healthcare setting
IHP-510-02: Evaluate ethical issues considered when creating a healthcare marketing plan for alignment with industry criteria
IHP-510-03: Apply fundamental principles of strategic marketing to healthcare organization strategic planning that align to organizational mission and
goals
IHP-510-04: Evaluate strategic marketing methods used in a marketing plan for their potential to reach specific healthcare audience demographics
IHP-510-05: Recommend communication strategies for effectively collaborating with internal and external stakeholders in the implementation of
marketing plans
Prompt
For the final project, you will develop a marketing and communication plan for Bellevue Hospital. In your plan, you will analyze the healthcare organization,
propose a new service, and develop marketing strategies for this proposed service and identified target market. In addition, you will develop strategies to
effectively communicate your marketing plan to the internal and external stakeholders, to drive collaboration in the implementation of the plan.
To begin, you will review NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue. You will use this organization as the base of your final project. Then, review the Bellevue Community
Needs Assessment (2016). This needs assessment will inform decisions you make in your marketing and communication plan around the service you propose,

Employee Benefits in Other Countries
Mario Claytor posted Jan 1, 2020 7:53 PM
Good evening class,
The country that I have decided to touch on is Sweden. It is not
original choice but someone already had Germany. Sweden has
many of the same benefits that we have in the US but there are
few things that I would have love to have while I was working
at my civilian jobs last year. Just like most companies in the
US employees are eligible for the most benefit programs on the
first day of employment. Just like most large businesses here in
the US employees are entitled to legal public holidays in
Sweden. Just like it was for me in the military they give 30
days of paid vacation for full time employment. The basic
benefits are very similar to ours but the one thing that I think is
great is that if you are a full time employee your medical is
100% paid. The best thing is that the employer provides medical
from a private company for all employees and pays for it all.
Here in the United States you will not get that at any job that I
know of except in the military. Once I retired last year from the
Army I worked for two different companies and neither of them
gave me 100% medical. My family and I are lucky that we have
insurance through my retirement benefits. Medical in the
United States has been a big issue for over the last twenty
28. years. Now I'm not sure if I will be working anymore because
of some medical issues that I have but medical is the one thing
that everyone is looking for here in the US. We all are trying to
make sure that our families are in good hand s whenever
medical care is needed.
Most of the businesses in Sweden partner with an outside source
for the medical benefits in the country. This is a standard
practice in their country that makes it easier for the CEO's to
manage their companies without worries of their employees not
having coverage. One group that took over most of the benefits
in their country is Willis group. "Willis Group Holdings Plc
will acquire a controlling stake of about 75% in Max
Matthiessen, an employee benefits adviser in Sweden, for $205
million". (Shoaib, Zaeem, 2014) This is how most of the
companies in the country operate if you are a full time
employee.
What country other than the United States, Mexico, Canada, or
China did you analyze?
Sweden has many of the same benefits that we have in the US
but there are few things that I would have love to have while I
was working at my civilian jobs last year. Just like most
companies in the US employees are eligible for the most benefit
programs on the first day of employment. (Fredrik Nordlöf,
2014)
How does the benefit work in the United States?
This is a standard practice in their country that makes it easier
for the CEO's to manage their companies without worries of
their employees not having coverage. One group that took over
most of the benefits in their country is Willis group. "Willis
Group Holdings Plc will acquire a controlling stake of about
75% in Max Matthiessen, an employee benefits adviser in
Sweden, for $205 million". (Shoaib, Zaeem, 2014)
How is the benefit in the country identified in Question 1
similar to the benefit in the United States?
The basic benefits are very similar to ours but the one thing that
I think is great is that if you are a full time employee your
29. medical is 100% paid. The best thing is that the employer
provides medical from a private company for all employees and
pays for it all. Here in the United States you will not get that at
any job that I know of except in the military.
How is the benefit in the country identified in Question 1
different from the benefit in the United States?
Most of the businesses in Sweden partner with an outside source
for the medical benefits in the country. This is a standard
practice in their country that makes it easier for the CEO's to
manage their companies without worries of their employees not
having coverage. One group that took over most of the benefits
in their country is Willis group. "Willis Group Holdings Plc
will acquire a controlling stake of about 75% in Max
Matthiessen, an employee benefits adviser in Sweden, for $205
million". (Shoaib, Zaeem, 2014)
Here in the United States you will have an insurance plan and in
most cases have a co-pay every time you visit the hospital or a
doctor. You will also have to pay a monthly rate to make sure
that you have coverage at all times for your family. So it will
never be free and it also will come directly out of your check
before you even receive payment for your work.

BELLEVUE HOSPITAL
Marketing Strategy
Bellevue Hospital is among the earliest facilities found in
New York and is at the top when it comes to provision of
medical services. In the recent times, there is an increased rate
of heart diseases which is basically as a result of the life style
that that people have adopted in areas that experience health
inequalities are very high. Thus, developing suitable marketing
strategies is of paramount importance as it facilitates
implementation of the organization’s objectives and goals
together with the 5s used for marketing (Cellucci, Wiggins, &
Farnsworth, 2014). Differentiation of products via a highly
divided strategy, makes sure that different stakeholders and
groups that have been targeted access the intended information
at the right time frame. The goals according to Community
33. embraced and treated with dignity and kindness.
while their families are in the care of this organization. In
addition to keeping cost down and serving the community and
increase the successes.
Competition
When we reflect to competition of this proposed program
is very minimal, since this hospital is a a member of NYC
health -hospitals program, it acts in partnership with other
hospitals which gives it very little competition in the land. The
worst competition would result if the hospital goes ahead to
compete with other institutions outside its boundaries like the
Mayo Clinic situated in Minnesota. This facility has advanced
in that it is able to link its patients to emergency clinical
professionals using a number of methods. It is possible for these
trained staff to reach out for patients, conduct tests, and provide
treatment and support and necessary information to the people
as another way of providing Medicare to the rural people via
rural clinics (Mayo Clinic Health System, 2018). They are able
to access each other using devises that are portable and other
important technologies. The used signals are confidential
protecting the communication thus it’s a method that is very
private and meets the conditions for the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy statutes
(American Marketing Association, 2017).
Communication is very important when an institution is
trying to set and achieve its goals. For these strategies to be
realized, it will be essential to develop good communication
skills between the developer, internal and external stakeholders.
To achieve internal communication the company should reward,
train, recruit and motivate its members towards providing very
suitable more effective and satisfying services. This will help to
produce and maintain a motivated workforce. It improves the
relationships between the people and the organization and
produces satisfying results to the people. External
communication is important for strengthening the relationship
between the hospital and external environment on which the
34. hospital is built.it lays its emphasis on physician relationship,
patients’ relationship, the public or the community relationship,
conducting activities that aim at improving the conditions of the
community. This is very essential as the hospital is built on the
fabric of the society in which it is set. If they are unable to
develop good relations with the external stakeholders it will
become difficult for the to operate and achieve the target goals.

Introduction of Bellevue hospital and the heart health service
Bellevue Hospital is the oldest public hospital in the USA and
boasts having the most effective staff in line with the goals of
the hospital in caregiving. Located at 462 First Avenue in the
Kip bay of Manhattan in New York City. Currently, it serves an
average of 460000 outpatients and has grown to be one of the
most efficient hospitals in New York City. The heart health
service is housed in the cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery
department which is world-renowned and the heart health
program is among the few departments in the world and has a
state of the art labs and have “our door to STEMI” produces
better services beyond the average (Root, Schonfeld, Williams,
& Poppers, 2017).
Mission, vision and strategic goal of the organization
The mission of the hospital is to provide the highest quality of
care to all the needy people in New York and all over the world
with honesty, integrity, and dignity even if the patient is not in
a position to pay for the service that has been provided to them.
The vision of the hospital is to be among the top ten hospitals in
the country as far as the provision of quality service is
concerned. Further, the hospital has a strategic goal of making
36. the hospital the most popular in terms of compliance and
service delivery so that all the people would work better at all
times without any failure (Bellevue, 2016). Another strategic
goal is improving communication so that the service delivery
can be first, efficient and up to date.
The current state of the service using the marketing framework
The current state of the service is that it has invested in
technology to serve the goals and ambitions of the hospital. It
has incorporated technology to come up with the state of the art
lab where people all over the country can be served. It is one of
the hospitals where open-heart surgery is performed. Since the
need of the hospital is to be the go-to place, it has ensured that
the appropriate technology, leadership, and correct values to
ensure that the correct virtues of the hospitals are maintained
for better service delivery.
Stakeholders of the organization using the marketing framework
The Bellevue hospital has several stakeholders who interact in a
very effective way to maintain the business in the hospital. The
first stakeholders are the patients who pay for the services and
the physicians who work around the clock to ensure that the
patients always get what they pay for. The government is yet
another stakeholder mainly mandated to monitor and ensure that
the organization operates within the dictates of the law.
Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies all work
together to ensure that the goals of the organization achieve the
targets.
How the current state of the service aligns with the mission,
vision and strategic goals?
The current state of the heart health service is perfectly aligned
to the mission, vision and strategic goal because the
organization has maintained three important concepts in its
operation. The first concept is innovativeness and application of
technology to provide better services to the population.
Secondly it applies strong leadership which ensures that staff is
well trained to partake the duties that are assigned to them. In
the long run, the goal of serving the people with dignity will be
37. achieved because of the way the leadership handles the entries
and trains the physicians will achieve good results. Being in
line with the strategic goals and being top ten hospitals in the
application of technology in service delivery (Root, Schonfeld,
Williams, & Poppers, 2017).
The target population of the heart health service by Bellevue
hospital is a range of all people from different geographies in
the world but mostly in New York. Special consideration is
however given to some categories of people like the LGBTQ
youths who are prone to the depressing issues causing heart
disease. The older people also receive special consideration and
can lead to better treatment. In a nutshell, the Bellevue heart
health program targets both the young and the old and serves
with dignity because today's diets have been affected by junk
and lifestyle diseases are prone to all the people.
Competition for the services.
Competition in most of the hospitals has been seen to be
beneficial to the individual by offering the people the service
that they deserve. Some people claim the competition may make
the services that are offered to change in terms of efficiency.
Other claim competition helps to work for the betterment of the
country’s economy, it improves the level of innovativeness as
well as bring the most reasonable prices for the services that are
offered. Some argue that competition will lower the quality of
the services that are offered since the hospital will always be
aiming at increasing the profits.
The government will, therefore, need to work on the levels of
competition so that it can help to protect the healthcare industry
before the services are jeopardized. There are supposed to be
strict measured that are put in place so that the hospital can
adhere to them as they offer the services and in their daily
activities. Competitions will impact the health care practitioners
in the ways they are creative and press them to come up with
alternative means of treatments that are more effective to the
patients.
The current marketing strategies
38. For this program, there is not any good that is currently
used for the involved marketing strategies since it does not
exist. The program is termed as an extension of the MITI
program that has been using different targeted marketing like
patients with diabetes. The marketing technique, as well as the
strategies, are very different for it, because of that reason, then
the technique and the program are not going to work for the
cases of obesity/ weight management program. The other reason
is that the target geography and the demographic are very
different.
Appropriateness of the marketing for the target market.
The different marketing strategies that are used for the
program is because they target different areas and the
demographic is also a different one for the target market. There
are different social media platforms that are used and they have
different numbers of users depending on which they prefer
using most. These number keeps on changing each and every
day. Some research shows social media is not going anywhere
and that is the reason why we have to take advantage of social
media for health care in marketing (Anticoli, 2018).
People use social media for emotional support,
encouragement, support, emotional comparison and well as for
gaining information. This has been therefore made, the social
media platform good for the marketing activities and hence it is
termed as the best proposed programs.
Ethical criteria
The people who do the health care marking in many time
they make the decisions that are full of fairness and they play a
very fundamental role in influencing the ways the stakeholders
and the employers who are the internal, as well as the public
termed as the external, are treated (Cellucci, Wiggins &
Farnsworth, 2014). The main role and purpose of the American
college of health executive code of ethics are to make sure they
serve and also guide the conduct that helps to improve the
quality of the entire health care and the healthcare industry at
large.
39. This has been working through the process of putting the
emphasis on the importance of the mission that they have and
the ways it should be carried out in the right ways. In order to
abide by the set rules that are used in marketing the marketing
technique need to be very honest and open. More so, it should
be in a position to promote the images of the entire Bellevue
hospital. This will serve in giving the patients the chance to
make better and well informed decisions and take part in the
program.
