The practice of co-branding is a relatively new technique utilized in the health care industry, which applies when one organization markets its name alongside another brand name. In this example of co-branding, the government of Vietnam wants to create an affiliation with Stanford Medical Center and its major national hospital in Saigon. This venture would include sending clinicians over to Vietnam to monitor, train and help and monitor its quality programs. In this situation, the Vietnamese hospital is looking to gain benefit from the Stanford Medical Center in what can be termed the “halo of affection” that belongs belong to the well-know and well-respected academic medical center. The Stanford Medical Center brand managers should be …show more content…
First, this will allow the Stanford Medical Center access to a new market, which they may have found particularly difficult to enter alone, so this will be beneficial to the medical center, and also gives them an opportunity to explore new emerging Asian markets, just as the other well-respected medical center’s have already been …show more content…
The Vietnamese government also wants to continue to improve and develop more sophisticated business practices to develop itself as a medical tourism center, but could possibly run into problems with medications that are counterfeit or corruption within the facility, which could ultimately reflect negatively on the well-known and well-respected academic medical centers brand name with people coming in from all over the world to receive treatments in Vietnams facility. Another factor that the Stanford Medical Center must consider before taking on this joint venture, is the fact that the ultimate purpose of entering a co-branding situation, the whole should be greater than the sum of the parts and to an extent, they will be relying on the Vietnamese hospitals brand equity, which, could make the Stanford Medical Center appear weak or secondary in the host country.22 The approach used by Johns Hopkins Medicine was a conservative approach that is similar to the situation with the Stanford Medical Center, in which, Stanford will be able to further its mission of promoting more effective and compassionate care around the world as well as attract international students to its university and enhance its name. If the reputation of the Stanford Medical Center grows and flourishes, as will the numbers of referrals for patients to use the
The company can also differentiate itself from its competitors by offering the highest quality of treatment in specific areas by employing the best doctors from specific fields. For example, by recruiting the top brain surgeons in the country, the company can gain esteem in the field and an advantage over the competition. There is success and prestige in the healthcare industry that can be had by being able to provide top level procedurally specific care in high need areas such as cancer treatment, pain management and orthopedic surgery.
This paper strives to answer questions based on the case study “Emanuel Medical Center: Crisis in the Health Care Industry”. As excerpted directly from the case study, Mr. Robert Moen, Emanuel Medical Center (EMC) president and CEO, was experiencing a number of challenges in 2002. The medical center faced numerous challenges in its external and internal environment. First, EMC garnered an onslaught of negative attention for the “Haley Eckman incident” in which a young man, who happened to be a gang member, died within view of EMC’s Emergency Department (ED) medical personnel rendered no care and watched. The emergency department at EMC was also experiencing greater pressure to deliver services in an increasingly
However, in light of its organizational problems, the situation surrounding HCCH has many opportunities. First, increased funding looks promising; as $875 billion dollars has of late been approved with the Affordable Care Act to challenge the unacceptable status quo of health care in all of America. Second, HCCH is in a good position to be repositioned- meaning that HCCH’s core values of service, equality, and trust are important values to its stakeholders and will only better be reinforced through an effective rebranding. The rebranding itself is of course the third opportunity as the professional advice sought generated enlightening ideas and will guarantee a quality solution. By leveraging these opportunities and strategically managing and mitigating its problems, HCCH has the potential to create a viable marketing plan that will help keep it moving towards its organizational goals.

I think the strategic mission should be revised. The Medical Center is in an older urban area with smaller shops and businesses. The community is trending towards a predominantly elder population. There has also been a decline in compliance with T.J.C. standards. Staffing supports new program development and the physician staff is in abundant supply. There are also major issues that need to be addressed, such as shortages in clinical staff, non-interfacing information technology systems, antiquated facilities and infrastructure, and a shift to its financial mix. Careful assessment of the aging person's

Marketing has become an essential part of healthcare services whether the industry likes it or not. Marketing services was not necessary in the past because people saw the one area doctor, used the closest hospital and were served by clinics and pharmacies in the area also. The problem is that the landscape has become much more complicated, there are a lot more choices, and people are moving much greater distances everyday which means that they will go farther for healthcare products. Marketing should not be considered a bad word anyway. Simply, it is "the activities and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large" (Rooney, 2009). The fact that healthcare organizations need an effective market strategy has not been lost on the businesses themselves, and the marketing approach used by healthcare companies has become increasingly consumer driven. This paper takes a look at how consumer driven marketing works for a healthcare organization, pricing of the department, communications, overall marketing strategies and the ethics of certain marketing techniques.
The advantages to companies of embarking on any co-branding undertaking are well described (Grebosz & Otto, 2013; Stutz, 2011; Swaminathan, 2006) and almost considered even as a win-win for many organisation (Washburn, Till, & Priluck, 2004). However, there
