The Role and Tasks of Marketing in the Process of Rendering Services at Public Hospitals

Summary/Abstract: In their article, the authors presented the role and importance of the selected marketing instruments in the strategy of functioning of the network of public hospitals. Taking into account the relatively high rate of return and that the structure of both population of respondents and the whole body of public entities is approximate, one may state that the obtained results of a survey are representative for the whole population of public hospitals in Poland, at least within the scope revealed in the REGON register. The usefulness of the adopted research methodology (the concept of triangulation) approximated the problem of implementation of the selected marketing instruments and their impact on reduction of information asymmetry and growth of satisfaction of stakeholders in management of the process of service provision at public hospitals. It was also revealed by way of a consistent and systematic repetition of surveys in the adopted annual cycles and with the identical content of the questions being asked. The subsequent diagnosed topic was assessment of legal determinants of the process of making decisions on the role and tasks of marketing which is significantly limited by the legal environment at public hospitals. In turn, the role of brand, in the epoch of digitisation of the socio-economic life, becomes multidimensional being, at the same time, identified with the source of pro-health values for prosumers. In the medical environment, there grown the interest in marketing instruments enabling achievement of repetitive quality of the rendered hospital services.
