Database Marketing

Database Marketing
This week you will obtain information on database marketing to support the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. As discussed in Chapter 10 of the course text, database marketing centers on gathering customer-based information such as gender, age, occupation, and lifestyles. As an example, to better understand the wants and needs of patients and their families, the Happy Valley marketing director monitors activities on the long-term care center’s web page. Data is collected regarding specific links viewed such as activities, skilled care services offered, and physical therapy. If a certain link is viewed more than other links, this could indicate to the marketing director that potential patients and their family members prefer specific amenities or services. Those amenities or services would then be marketed as a priority for the organization. Considering the marketing plan for your chosen healthcare organization, construct a three- to four-page paper in which you:
Describe your understanding of database marketing and how it could potentially be applied to your marketing plan for the Final Project.
Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using database marketing.
State the ethical, legal, and HIPAA issues that need to be considered.
Articulate reasons why you would implement or exclude the use of database marketing in your marketing plan for the Final Project.
The paper
Must be three to four double-spaced pages in length (not including the title page and references page) and formatted according to APA
Must include a separate title page with the following:
Title of paper
Student’s name
Course name and number
Instructor’s name
Date submitted
Must use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.
Must document all sources in APA style
Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style

150 words no reference required. Respond to the post below peer responseAs students it looks like there are many ways we can be actively involved. We can take part in the AANA Student Writing Contest play in the Anesthesia College Bowl serve on different committees such as 1) education 2) practice public relations and health and wellness 3) the CRNA political action committee and attend the Nurse Anesthesia Annual Congress meetings (which combines networking evidence-based education and the latest technological advances in anesthesia in a new location every year). Something that I really support is the Student Mentoring Program that’s coordinated by the AANA Communications Committee. Every year at the AANA Mid-Year Assembly a group of SRNAs get to spend a day with experienced CRNA leaders. This allows networking which I think is really important for our profession and the primary goal of this program is to mentor and produce future leaders of the AANA . Past CRNAs have worked and lobbied so hard for our profession – we wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for those who have fought and advocated for us.One of our classmates mentioned in DB #3 that since physician anesthesiologists make so much money they are probably able to put a lot more money into the ASA. While that is probably true we should not let that deter us. We could donate to the AANA as much as we can even if it’s $20 and we can have fundraisers to help raise money too. The RISE Above Campaign is seeking to do what we all as students agree on and wish the public were better informed on – to prove the value and worth of CRNAs. This is a three year campaign that aims to raise $1 million to fund Health Services Research that will inform healthcare policy affecting patient care processes and patient/provider interactions (RISE Above).There is a website called The Future of Anesthesia Care Today and it is awesome. It talks about who we are what our education and training is like and why we are the most cost-effective choice when it comes to choosing an anesthesia provider. This website has numerous research studies to back up what they are recommending. It would be nice if we could somehow direct a lot of traffic to this website and maybe distribute it on social media to help with public awareness.Something that interests me personally as far as gaps in the literature goes – I wasn’t able to find any publications or abstracts on CRNAs vs dental anesthesia providers regarding patient safety and outcomes. Ialso couldn’t find much research on neonates and the OB population – I’m sure after starting clinicals next year topics will come to mind that I might want to further explore.I agree with my classmate in that it wouldn’t hurt to have more CRNA research. After looking over the AANA website it looks like much research has been done or is happening currently. But I think we need to think of better ways to help distribute that research especially to the public and to politicians. As politicians and state laws have a direct influence on how we are allowed to practice where we can practice independently and whatnot maybe we can meet with the politicians of all the non opt-out states to see where they get their influences from how they came to their decision and what we can do to convince them that we should be allowed to practice independently (I believe one of our classmates came up with this idea first courtesy of John and I support his idea). Other classmates have mentioned using social media as that is something that is very popular and a good way to help reach millions. Johnson&Johnson has a Discover Nursing Campaign with TV commercials and a website dedicated to achieving a nursing career with information on how to become a nurse NCLEX study tips job interview advice and so much more. It would be nice to have a Discover CRNA Campaign. Maybe as student CRNAs we can volunteer at local high schools and introduce our profession on a career day or go to nursing schools and talk about who we are and what we do. Our research is strong and we have a lot of it but what good is it if we only circulate it amongst ourselves? I really think we should continue to advocate for our profession be active in the AANA and help educate the public on who we are.
