· HMGT 335: Rules for discussion Comments on your peers: As Mentioned, unless stated otherwise - you need to make a contribution comment on two different peers. Saying " I found your comments interesting", or that is was very nice! isn't what the purpose is. Please feel free to support the thought with a reference, or disagree with or challenge the thinking. This is a "Critical Thinking" exercise! I have often found information to counter a statement that many take for granted. Feel free to challenge your classmates or enhance them. Doesn’t have to be a full response. But if you comment positively or negatively with some data, that is all that is needed (With a reference). This is what will lead to -------learning!!!!
Avoid using "I think" and "I feel" without any data..... That is just dinner table conversation! No title page needed. When addressing the person you are responding to DO NOT write their name, use “ you, you’re”. You goal is to pretend like you are responding as if your me. ie. You forgot to mention how frogs cross the road. DO NOT SAY “ sally forgot to mention how frogs cross the road.”
No lengthy response needed. If the discussion has two parts respond to them both just like how the discussion is setup. Ie. Part 1 and part 2. No title page and do not double
· Marketing involves everyone

Weiss argues that marketing involves everyone in a health service organization because all staff are somehow involved directly or indirectly in the patient experience that is integral to marketing efforts. (Weiss, 2012) When a patient receives treatment, he may share his experience with friends and colleagues, thus contributing to word-of-mouth marketing of their services. Since marketing is basically focused on the products and services that a company was selling, then the provision of these products and services is the foundation that marketing efforts are built on.

· Marketing: everyone's job
Briana Patten posted May 5, 2016 8:33 PM
Marketing is becoming everyone’s job because consumers are basing their perception on customer service instead of getting their perception from ads. Weiss (2012), found that “ We are quickly transitioning from the fee-for-service, volume-based arena to one centered on value, where more of the payment is based on performance. Consumers are looking to gain perceptions based on face to face encounters vs. gaining perceptions advertisements. According to Weiss (2012), “the answers lie instead in engaging with physicians and other caregivers as true partners and participants, perfecting the customer service experience, adhering to cultural values, strengthening efforts in outreach offerings and forming a community around the brand”.

The two challenges I am focusing on is the threat of terrorism and the rediscovery of lifestyle-related health issues.
The threat of terrorism is causing for the health care system to prepare with dealing with the after effects of terrorist attacks. Many hospitals have experienced bed closures and when there is a terrorist attack in that area there is nowhere to put and care for the victims. One example of a bio-terrorist attack took place in 2001 when people were mailed envelopes containing anthrax and the health system was not able to deal with the attack quickly. Beyond the anthrax attacks “Garrett also describes how 9/11 uncovered weaknesses in the US national security and public health systems. Response efforts lacked the integrated communications and unified command needed for this kind of disaster: Information crucial for decision making was not shared among agencies; first responders were poorly trained; and equipment for those responding was inadequate.” (Garrett, L.,2011) Since we have experienced several terrorist attacks we have started to prepare our health care providers and will continue having to grow to stay vigilant and prepared.
The other challenge I mentioned was the rediscovery of lifestyle-related health issues. In order to keep health care costs, lower the government has been trying to lower the rates of people smoking and people who are obese. With the increased rates of obesity in adults and children, health care and insurance will become more expensive. Ways that the government tries to reduce the numbers of smokers and obese people is by airing commercials on the health effects and promoting exercise and eating right.

There will always be problems in the health care system. Somethings can be fixed and some will always be a problem. One problem that I took note of is the shortage of providers. With insurance being a mandatory thing for everyone to have, the supply of providers will decrease. The research I did said that more medical students are going into specialized care and not enough for primary care. This might cause a huge problem in the future for healthcare organizations if they are a whole lot more patients’ then healthcare providers to take care of them.
Another thing that might not seem like a problem now but maybe a problem later is data over load. With the more patients, the more data that would be needed to be input in the computer systems. Tied into the first problem with the addition in patient more data space would be needed. There might have to be a limited amount of time that an organization would be able to keep the patients information in the system to have more space for others or get more space for the systems which means more money.
