Ray Anderson Case Summary

Marvin Anderson is a man who was falsely accused of abduction, rape, robbery, and sodomy. This is his story. On July 17, 1982, a young woman was raped by a black man whom she said was a total stranger. After she reported the crime, a police officer singled out Anderson as a suspect because the perpetrator had told the victim that he “had a white girl,” and Anderson was the only black man the officer knew who lived with a white woman. Because Anderson had no criminal record, the officer went to Anderson’s employer and obtained a color employment photo identification card.

As it pertains to health care, geographic segmentation has been rarely national; far more often it is regional or local, which could provide the hospital with valuable information that would prove useful when marketing the new program. The geographic segmentation strategy could also include setting up primary care satellites staffed by its own primary care physicians within its primary service area.18 Using sources outside the primary and secondary service areas could create a stronger referral flow, which will allow for physicians to receive referrals from community physicians, which could create a shift in the place aspect of the marketing mix.18 The third alternative way the customer base could be segmented that would be of particular interest to the hospitals new program would be through usage segmentation. This type of segmentation is grouping people based on the product usage or purchase, which could possibly be one of the most valuable ways in which in which to segment the market for the new hospital program. This approach will look to segment the market based on the percentage of a product that consumers buy or a service that they use.19 The hospital could look specifically at the usage rates for health care services in the Baltimore metropolitan area as well as looking at the type of usage for health

In 1997 University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) merged its two public hospitals with Stanford’s two private hospitals. The two separate entities merged together to create a not-for-profit organization titled UCSF Stanford Health Care. The merger between the health systems at UCSF and Stanford seemed like a good idea due to the similar missions, proximity of institutions, increased financial pressure with cutbacks in Medicare reimbursements followed by a dramatic increase in managed care organizations. The first year UCSF Stanford Health Care produced a profit of $22 million, however three years later the health system had lost a total of $176 million (“UCSF-Stanford Merger,” n.d.). The first part of this paper will address reasons

The second is to consider that costs in California heath care are rising and California hospital costs was based on price competition that was created by the process of selective contracting according to researchers which has also resulted in the threat to patients. Thus the factors that play a decisive role in the health care strategy are "expenses to patient volume, case-mix, hospital specialization, hospital size, ownership, location," (Zwanziger; Melnick; Bamezai, 1994) and such factors.

Since most specialty procedures are inpatient services, EMC’s inpatient occupancy rate suffers. The occupancy rate for Emanuel Medical Center – fifty percent – is far below that of its competitors and industry benchmarks. To accompany this, EMC (on average) receives a lower reimbursement for in-patient Medicare services per patient seen in comparison to its competitors. A result such as this is correlated with directly to the fewer amount of specialty services that EMC offers. In order for Emanuel Medical Center to be able to compete with other hospitals in its service area, it is imperative that EMC evaluates what services they currently offer and are capable to offer in the future to add value to the hospital, increase its revenue stream, and expand its patient mix. Currently, Emanuel Medical Center has not succumbed to its increasing financial pressurealthough EMC has had a negative operating income for five straight years. A negative operating income places EMC at a disadvantage because it limits the hospitals ability to renovate its aging building or hire new specialists to offer revenue enhancing procedures. EMC’s competitors, on the other hand, have large sources of revenue due to their mergers with large healthcare networks such as Catholic Healthcare West. Another competitor, Kaiser Permanente Modesto Medical Center, has extremely large financial resources due to the fact

One tool that can help an organization to understand its competitive positioning is the BCG Matrix. This matrix is based on the product life cycle theory and is typically used to help organizations make decisions about what products or services should be given priority over scarce resources (VBM, 2012). In analyzing Jackson's portfolio it is important to bear in mind that not all services are going to be in any one category. With a hospital this large and diversified, there will be things in which it is especially strong and things in which it is especially
