It’s clear that marketing and patient experience efforts in hospitals are trying to address an unparalleled shift to consumerism. But is the concept of “consumerism” the same for the healthcare industry as it is for other industries? Can hospitals ever become as “consumer-first” as Amazon, Uber or Disney? In this episode, hosts Reed Smith and Chris Boyer explore the concept of consumerism and address trends that are impacting how hospitals and health systems are transforming their organization to embrace a patient-first mentality. Featuring an expert interview with Gary Frazier of OM Healthcare, in which he shares his perspective on empowering the consumer in healthcare and how his organization seeks to put the consumer first in an open marketplace.
