Having a strong consumer focus has become a fundamental organizational competency in today’s U.S. healthcare system.
A healthcare provider’s game plan for strategic planning in 2018 and beyond will require a consumer focus to keep up with the inexorable rise in consumerism within the nation’s healthcare system. In carrying out the game plan, providers should take the following essential steps:
