 Product Development

Health services continue to affect the gross domestic product, and this dramatic transformation has great demands on each dollar spent to deliver patient-centered products. Health care marketing must be repeatedly applied and practiced strategically to include environmental dimensions, such as technology, socioeconomics, competition, and regulatory.

That being said, in today’s global economy, investors and potential entrepreneurs must tap into the so-called “unexplored” market. In this aspect, health care establishments must utilize marketing, advertising, as well as sales strategies when pursuing new customers (e.g., suppose a health care investor wanted to build a small hospital in a rural community); this would entail exploration and logistical experimentation to determine who will patronize the facility. In an impoverished neighborhood, the feasibility of having lucrative profits may see diminishing returns, and so the venture may be not worth the effort. Also, suppose that the potential investor wants to sell mosquito deterrents (e.g., bedside netting in malaria-infested regions of Asia or Africa); then it would be wise to investigate the number of beds that are actually in the village, and who would be willing to purchase them. These activities take into account the investor portfolio, as well as the feasibility of marketing and selling the product. Such exploration also examines competitors, cultural differences, and—most important—identification of the customer.

Identify a local health care establishment (e.g., hospital, rehabilitation center, emergency medical center) and determine its product development practices. Utilize concepts from previous weeks to substantiate information, as needed. You may develop the discussion based on the ideas presented here, but feel free to inject any salient marketing strategy that you believe might support your presentation.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

1. Justify the purpose of the selected health care establishments’ product(s) / service (s) and their associated life cycle(s).
2. Suggest one (1) strategy to improve the marketing mix of the selected health care establishment. Support your strategy by highlighting one (1) benefit of (1) portfolio analysis and providing two (2) examples that display differential advantages.
3. Assess the importance of technology in providing patients with clear and accessible information about health care organizations and the product(s) / service(s) that they provide.
4. Outline a survey to capture patients’ expectations regarding the delivery and / or accessibility of product(s) / service(s) identified.
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Analyze how products evolve through the four stages of the product life cycle.
• Determine the appropriate product succession planning efforts of health care services.
• Examine the marketing research process and market segmentation strategies in the health care industry.
• Evaluate marketing research tools involved in the marketing process.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in health services strategic marketing.
• Write clearly and concisely about health services strategic marketing using proper writing mechanics.

Scholar-Practitioner Project: Create a Digital Dashboard

Without the usability features inherent in effective design, informatics systems may overwhelm a user with data. This portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project requires that you put to use the informatics display techniques that are covered in this week’s Learning Resources.

To complete this week’s portion of your Scholar-Practitioner Project, create a mock-up screen of a “digital dashboard” for your disease surveillance system. Your text includes examples and ideas for such digital dashboards. Include a framework for the display of data based on the algorithm you designed previously (see note from professor on algorithm below), using appropriate graphics, symbols, and words. Use PowerPoint when choosing to create the screen. Additionally, you may choose to annotate the mock-up as appropriate.

Please save the mock-up in the following formats:

· PowerPoint file: Use “.ppt” extension

(NOTE FROMPROFESSOR ON LAST WEEK PAPER ON SURVEILLANCE ALGORITHM)This is a good start; you have provided a good description of your pathology of interest and the diagnostic algorithm used by the clinicians.  Remember, the idea of this SPP is to develop (try to) a biosurveillance system for your disease/condition of interest.  You have mentioned the algorithm and some covariates; however, you did not address the surveillance algorithm.  Algorithms used in surveillance usually involve decisions based on statistical analyses of data provided (not usually intended for a diagnosis).  Remember, that you do not want to evaluate a clinical intervention or the burden of a disease, the intention of your system is surveillance. Please address the issues marked on your paper.  I am looking forward to reading the next steps of your project

View the scenario called “Critical Decision Making for Providers” found in the Allied Health Community media (http://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt307v/allied-health-community/allied-health-community-v1.1.html)

In a 800-1,200 word paper, describe the scenario involving Mike, the lab technician, and answer the following questions:

1. What were the consequences of a failure to report?

2. What impact did his decision have on patient safety, on the risk for litigation, on the organization’s quality metrics, and on the workload of other hospital departments?

3. As Mike’s manager, what will you do to address the issue with him and ensure other staff members do not repeat the same mistakes?

Part I

Module 4’s Home page was packed with pathogens!  Choose three that surprised you most, give a brief description, and explain why you were surprised by them.

For the second part of this assignment, you will take a closer look at the HIV virus, using this document to help you define the following terms.  First begin by reviewing the structure of DNA and the processes of transcription and translation.

Part II

Next address these topics on HIV:

1. Discuss the function of HIV protease, integrase, and reverse transcriptase.
2. Identify the characteristics of HIV which account for its transmission.  Include the basic epidemiology of this virus and its method of transfer.
3. Discuss the normal function of B-lymphocytes, killer T-lymphocytes, helper T-lymphocytes, and macrophages in the immune system. Explain how HIV affects these components of a healthy immune system.
4. Explain the function of the complement system and do some research to investigate how the HIV virus turns the complement system against the human body.  How has this led to new treatments against this disease?

Bioremediation is the use of organisms like bacteria, archea or fungi to metabolize pollutants. Instead of simply collecting the pollutant, bioremediation relies on living organisms to consume and break down the compound, turning it into a natural, harmless product. This technique is often used to help clean up major oil spills. Watch the following video and article link to learn more:

Oil-Eating Bacteria Could Be a Solution to Spill Cleanups. National Geographic. Accessed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPgLJrk0sGQ on September 14, 2016.

Address the following questions in essay format:

Research a microbe that can be used in bioremediation and provide the following information:

1) Provide the scientific name and identification of the bacteria that is used in bioremediation. How is it classified? Give a brief description of your bacteria. What is it’s normal environment?

2) Which biogeochemical cycle does the bacterium participate in (Carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus cycling)? How is this important to its role in bioremediation?

3) How are bacteria as a whole being genetically modified to improve bioremediation?

3) What are some limitations to using bacteria for bioremediation?
