ACHE WFC Marketing and Money: Linking New Products, Services and ROI

This program has been developed and is presented locally by ACHE WFC. The American College of Healthcare Executives has awarded 1.5 ACHE In-Person Education Credits (previously called Face-to-Face Education Credits) to this program.

When developing new products and services, healthcare professionals must have a comprehensive understanding of their consumers—their needs, values, and communication preferences. Accordingly, a well-thought-out marketing strategy is vital to the success of your organization. To stay competitive, the strategy must continuously measure effectiveness and make appropriate adjustments. In an era when trust in healthcare is wavering, it’s more critical than ever that healthcare organizations possess marketing savvy and be able to make the case internally and externally for any new product or service.
