Your readings direct attention toward mindsets and initiatives that enhance and improve the experience of care recipients (e.g., patients in hospitals, residents in nursing homes). Essentially, such actions thread the vital element of compassion into the delivery of care. These efforts are important for the dignity of care recipients, their satisfaction as customers of given healthcare establishments, and for purposes of marketing in that they help to attract patronage and often represent competitive advantages. As such, it is highly beneficial for healthcare marketers to develop skills in assembling unique features that complement medical service delivery, affording exceptional customer experiences, making for a fitting Practitioner Application.
Assume that you are the Patient Experience Officer for a newly-established renal dialysis facility based in the city of your choice. (An actual city must be selected as this assignment calls for formal market research.) This entity will be named Continental Renal and it will offer the usual and customary array of services provided by renal dialysis facilities serving patients on an outpatient basis. (If you are unfamiliar with this modality of care, conduct associated research to gain a proper understanding before completing the assignment.) The Administrator is desirous of embedding elements into the patient experience that go beyond the mere delivery of excellent kidney care services, effectively establishing a Good Samaritan program. She specifically has tasked you with developing a proposal identifying and detailing at least five unique features that can be incorporated to “Wow!” patients and improve the patient experience. These features are to be over and above that offered in a typical, quality renal dialysis service environment. Quite obviously, in order to “Wow!” patients, features selected must go beyond normal expectations. As unique features are requested, you, of course, must conduct market research, investigating what currently is being done by area competitors in order to ensure the development of truly novel enhancements. Out-of-the-box thinking is required.
The Submission Requirement
Your submission in its entirety (i.e., all inclusive) must be AT LEAST 1200 words. It is to be typed (or pasted) directly into the Moodle posting window, after which you will submit your work. After submission, students are advised to verify that the assignment was submitted successfully by revisiting the submission link in advance of the assignment deadline. (Warning: After the assignment deadline, do not return to the M1 Practitioner Application to check the status of your submission, as doing so can change the submission date, forcing issuance of penalties for lateness.) Note that attachments of any kind are prohibited and will carry no points value. Given the length of the submission, it is advised that students prepare it in a word processing program, and when finalized, copy and paste the text into the Moodle posting window. Moodle can be very finicky and often will distort formatting, so care must be taken in preparing your submission. It is understood that Moodle formatting is limited; simply make your submission look as nice as possible.
Submissions must incorporate a minimum of ten (10) references, with at least three (3) being from scholarly academic journals. (If you cannot ascertain whether a journal does or does not qualify as scholarly academic, contact the Noel Library and request assistance.) References may be prepared using the style guide of your choice (e.g., APA, MLA); just be sure to consistently use the selected style. As Moodle formatting is limited, style guide requirements apply only to the preparation and presentation of references. In-text citations, of course, must be included. Treat this as a formal report, rather than an informal web post. Note that references which consist solely of website links are unacceptable; consult a college-level style manual and assemble website references properly. Incomplete or otherwise noncompliant reference sections will result in a 30-point deduction.
In presenting your work, identify the title, your name and student ID number, and submission date at the top of your submission and supply the following headings, exactly as they appear below, placing each in bold text:
