IHP 510 Final Project Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

For this milestone, due in Module Seven, you will defend the specific marketing and communication strategies you have come up with to support the service you are proposing for Bellevue Hospital. In addition, you will explain the communication strategies you will use to involve the internal and external stakeholders of the healthcare organization that will be impacted by the service you are proposing for the hospital.

Note that the stakeholders are unique from your target market. These stakeholders are the individuals who will either partner with you to employ the plan or be impacted by the implementation of the plan.

Pay particular attention to the marketing exercises in which you explored various marketing strategies, as well as the Module Six Worksheet where you considered targeted marketing and communication strategies for a particular healthcare organization.

Next, draft a 5-page paper that addresses the following critical elements:

   1. Which strategies have you determined are most effective in meeting your marketing goals?

   4. Why do you feel the currently used marketing strategies will not meet the needs of the proposed market?

   1. How will you communicate the marketing plan to internal stakeholders? For example, some internal stakeholders might be employees, doctors, or administration.
   2. How will you share this marketing plan with indirect and direct external stakeholders? For example, some external stakeholders might be legislators or public health officials.
   3. How will these communication strategies effectively drive collaboration and contribute to the effectiveness of the marketing plan?
   4. What ethical criteria did you use to guide communication decisions for stakeholders of varying sectors of the population? (Refer back to the frameworks on ethics and ethical decision making from Module Three.)
