Marketing is now a recognized and established function in many healthcare organizations. This book introduces healthcare leaders to the concepts they need to understand to plan and launch an effective marketing initiative. It provides a comprehensive view of the marketing process, from evaluating market needs to developing a marketing campaign to evaluating marketing efforts.
