It used to be said that all health care is local but times are changing because of cost and access issues. In this dynamic panel presentation and discussion, you will learn about strategies to build international reputation and clientele as an extension of your domestic service line marketing; how to compete with established internationally renowned health care brands on cost, quality and customer service; and how overseas hospitals are attracting patients and building relationships within the U.S. You will also learn about some of the incentives driving domestic community hospitals to become more involved in medical travel and what overseas payers are looking for from U.S. hospitals.
