7. External Influences on Consumer Choices
Health care consumers receive various communications about
different health care options. It is important to understand
consumer demographics to determine the impact (positive or
negative) media, social networks, branding, marketing, and
communication play in health care consumer choices. In this
assignment you will research managed care plans to determine
what impact social media and other external influences have on
consumer behaviors.
Research the different managed care insurance plans listed
below by reviewing various health care organizations or
resources (e.g., Kaiser as an HMO). Consider within your
research who might access the health care systems (i.e., age,
generation, socioeconomic status, military/veteran, and health
care insurance plans, etc.). List 2 advantages for the HMOs,
PPOs, and POSs and 2 disadvantages of each of the same in a
chart like the one below:
