Unique Value Proposition

Leveraging the blue ocean strategy, write a brief response that describes what makes your selected product or service unique and how it will provide a strategic advantage in the marketplace.

The application will help remove the congestion that is in hospitals. Because of the pandemic most hospitals are crowded but with the application some of the patients will be served remotely without the need of getting to the hospital. Most of the hospitals in the market do not have this feature and this will give HCA healthcare a strategic advantage over the other companies.

How will you charge your customers? What is your revenue model? The customers will link their credit and debit cards. Each time a customer needs to consult they will get a prompt with the charges and they can proceed to pay.
