Database Marketing

This week you will obtain information on database marketing to support the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. As discussed in Chapter 10 of the course text, database marketing centers on gathering customer-based information such as gender, age, occupation, and lifestyles. As an example, to better understand the wants and needs of patients and their families, the Happy Valley marketing director monitors activities on the long-term care center’s web page. Data is collected regarding specific links viewed such as activities, skilled care services offered, and physical therapy. If a certain link is viewed more than other links, this could indicate to the marketing director that potential patients and their family members prefer specific amenities or services. Those amenities or services would then be marketed as a priority for the organization. Considering the marketing plan for your chosen healthcare organization, construct a three- to four-page paper in which you:

-Describe your understanding of database marketing and how it could potentially be applied to your marketing plan for the Final Project.
-Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using database marketing.
-State the ethical, legal, and HIPAA issues that need to be considered.
-Articulate reasons why you would implement or exclude the use of database marketing in your marketing plan for the Final Project.

What are the health, economic, and social consequences ofthe problem? How the problem can be addressed in the fastest and least cost manner? What few priority steps do you recommend be taken to address the problem, at least cost, and what is your rationale for these recommendations?

Global Health Policy Briefs

Instructions

There will be two global health policy brief assignments in the course. Each of them should be written as a policy brief from you, the Under Secretary of Global Health, to the U.S. Secretary of Health. As you write the brief, you must put yourself into the role of the Under· Secretary of Global Health. Each brief should be at least four pages long and double-spaced. The font should be in 12-point). Each brief should be written about a country in a different region of the world. The briefs should be written on low or middle income countries, since they are the focus of the course. This will allow you to use the briefs to explore selected health and development issues in a variety of settings in a manner deeper than you will be able to do only in the classroom. The focus of each brief is discussed below. Each brief should be written about a country in a different region of the world. The briefs should be written on low or middle income countries, since they are the focus of the course. This will allow you to use the briefs to explore selected health and development issues in a variety of settings in a manner deeper than you will be able to do only in the classroom. Each brief should answer the following questions:

  • What is the nature and magnitude of the problem?
  • Who is affected by it?
  • What are the risk factors for the problem?
  • What are the health, economic, and social consequences ofthe problem? How the problem can be addressed in the fastest and least cost manner?
  • What few priority steps do you recommend be taken to address the problem, at least cost, and what is your rationale for these recommendations?

When you make your argument, give information about the relative cost-effectiveness of your proposal with evidence.

The brief should start with a summary paragraph.

That summary paragraph would read something like 5-6 sentences:

“About AAA people die every year of TB in our country. The incidence of TB is YYY. About UUU people in our country get drug-resistant TB every year and about HHH% of those who are infected with HIV have active TB disease. TB affects largely the urban and rural poor and stems

Brief 1:

from poverty, general ill health, and the lack of coverage of our health services. TB causes illness for an extended period, stops people from working, causes them to spend large amounts on health, and leads many families into poverty. DOTs is a low cost approach to TB diagnosis and treatment that we are not using sufficiently. We must immediately expand our DOTs program, starting in the north, where the disease burden is highest. We must increase case detection and treatment success rates. We must also pay special attention to the diagnosis and management of drug-resistant TB and to TB/HIV co-infection.”

Brief number 1 will summarize, for a country of your choice, the key issues in women’s or children’s health, who is most affected by them, key risk factors, the links between these issues with social and economic development, and what might be done to enhance the health of women and children in your country in cost-effective ways.

Brief 2:

Brief number 2 will summarize, for a country of your choice, the burden of either a particular infectious disease, or a particular non-communicable disease: the people most affected by this disease or diseases, key risk factors, the economic and social costs of the disease(s), and what might be done to address the disease(s) in cost-effective ways.

Public Health In the CHS Organization Before & After Reconstruction

It is not uncommon for healthcare organizations to restructure, reorganize, or change ownership on a somewhat frequent basis. As the business of healthcare is ever-changing, many organizations must change to meet the demands of the industry, the patients they serve, and the professionals that serve them.

Referring back to the organization that you chose in Week 1 (SEE ATTACHED ESAAY) this week you will explore how they handle Public Health, both before and after restructuring.

Write about the Community Healthcare Systems on Public Health after and before RECONSTRUCTION (you may further research CHS hospital systems to further write essay) on the following questions below

Areas of focus:
• How do they establish goals and objectives for improving health outcomes that incorporate an understanding of the social determinants of health and the socioeconomic environment in which they are located?
• How do they use vital statistics and core health indicators to guide decision-making and analyze health trends of the population to guide the provision of health services?
• How do they manage risk, threats and damage to health during disasters or emergency situations?
• What are their processes connected with public health surveillance and control systems to increase response to risks, threats, and damage to health?
• How do the organization’s actions impact population health conditions?

Health on the Gluten-Free diet

“The Gluten-Free Hype” is starting to grow and becoming more popular for those who do not have celiac disease. People with celiac disease, gluten triggers an abnormal immune response that inflames the small intestine and erodes the intestinal villi, severely limiting nutrient absorption. These individuals have no choice rather than being gluten-free. But the media and diet sellers, are trying to sell the gluten-free way of living to individuals who do not suffer from this disease when no evidence supports that gluten-free diets can help spur weight loss.

Read the article below from Harvard Health on the Gluten-Free diet.
