About the Healthcare Industry

Healthcare Industry costs are continuously on the rise in the United States. It is expected by the year 2019 that expenditures will reach nearly $4.5 trillion dollars. As healthcare costs increase, many families, disabled people and senior citizens are opting out of their healthcare programs because it’s unaffordable. More than 133 million Americans suffer from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, obesity and mental disorders and The National Health Council projects that number to grow to over 155 million by 2020.  We are entering an era where personalized medicine and healthcare programs can become the most successful healthcare brands. Brands will require market research to be successful in this evolving environment.

Methodologies in Healthcare Market Research

The following are methodologies used by healthcare brands to better position themselves:

  • Brand Image. Understanding how your brand is perceived and what attributes of your product or service add or detract from the essence is critical to success.
  • Service Evaluation. When healthcare programs and services are monitored or evaluated, identification of accolades and issues become easy.
  • Satisfaction surveys. This methodology focuses on designing questionnaires for patients, physicians and medical personnel to identify the level of satisfaction. It’s essential to any healthcare entities’ success to monitor satisfaction across products and services. 
  • Needs assessments. This is a very valuable methodology because needs assessments reduce health care spending costs by learning what constituents and consumers need. This is completed through focus groups, one-on-one interviews and qualitative research.
  • Research on the effectiveness of health care campaigns. This can be identified and help improve brand development. If you know what’s creating a buzz, you’ll know where and how to direct your future healthcare efforts.
  • Focus groups. They can gather immediate information on your target audience. This is perfect for tasks such as product naming.
