§558.260[a][3]basic principles of management in a licensed health-related setting
§558.260[a][10]marketing
Program Description: Marketing in healthcare is an increasingly complex and dangerous endeavor.
Laws and regulations fail to provide clear guidance as to what the agency can and can’t do as it relates to hiring and training a sales force,
developing sales and promotion campaigns using electronic media, participating on community health fairs, and most importantly, making contact
with the right people, and competing against the big guys! The best ideas in the real-world sales environment often fail to meet the requirements
of the federal and state anti-solicitation laws, safe harbor requirements in the Anti-Kickback Statute, STARK rules, or the Gifts to Beneficiaries
limitations, and competitors are only too happy to report any perceived violations to government investigators who will take it seriously!
This presentation is designed for the administrator who needs to grow the business in a heavily regulated, highly competitive
marketplace while protecting the pocketbook from costly endeavors. Jan will review the regulatory restrictions that impose limitations on the provider,
BUT she will also introduce you to 9 successful marketing strategies that are economical, investigator friendly, and owner appreciated.
Program Learning Outcome:
Participants will actively engage in the learning activity and indicate an intent to change or enhance their practice by implementing
marketing practices in compliance with state and federal regulations.
