The mission of a health care organization represents its vision for the future. The authors present an approach used to develop an organizational mission for a large multispecialty physician clinic. In implementing the strategic planning process, research objectives must be clearly stated that identify in advance how the data will be used. Failure to integrate strategic data from all relevant publics will likely result in a mission statement that misses the significant interests of one or more stakeholders and reduces the effectiveness of the strategic planning process. Although costly, comprehensive research can uncover some surprising differences in perception that, if ignored, might complete defeat strategic planning efforts.

More than 75% of the female respondents in this study would choose a women's health center (WHC) over a standard health facility. Women who worked outside the home perceived a greater WHC need. And almost all respondents were interested in communications from the center via a quarterly newsletter. Significant test results related to age, income, education, and work status as segmentation variables, offering WHC's an opportunity to target their patients with specialized services such as cosmetic surgery, infertility treatment, breast imaging, etc. If enough resources are allocated, a WHC can design itself to attract highly lucrative patients. Little difference was found in the opinions of women regarding the need for a WHC or the core services desired, but the specific service mix decision must be carefully considered when designing a WHC.

The authors propose a model, adapted from literature on quality in health care and services marketing, that identifies dimensions of quality in nursing care for persons with AIDS. In focus groups, respondents expressed concern about structural factors such as formal hospital practices, and process factors, which include nurses' knowledge of AIDS treatment and issues, their use of universal precautions, discrimination issues, expressions of empathy, and provision of health status information to the patient.

Debates about whether to use telephone or mail to survey discharged patients are waged in many hospitals. Findings from a methodological test indicate the two methods result in significant differences in evaluations--differences that health care marketers would be wise to heed. Mail-back questionnaires generate a wider range of responses and minimize the "acquiescence bias" telephone interviews tend to elicit, especially in health care surveys.

When consumers face an immediate vs. future need for a long-term health care facility, their decision process is rushed. The authors investigate the possible effects of time on the use of and emphasis on specific evaluative criteria consumers employ in making their choice. Findings suggest that marketers of long-term care facilities should adopt a temporal-based approach to market segmentation.
