Greetings!

What constitutes marketing? Many human service providers both small to medium business owners believe marketing is simply advertising. This is a HUGE error. Marketing is so much more than just your advertising. Advertising is simply one method, medium or process by which to communicate your product or service to prospective clients.

 

Marketing however encapsulates:

Strategy; mindset; planning; capital; branding; products and services; product packaging; positioning; pricing; business location; communication; market drivers; business models; innovation; distribution channels; policies and procedures; guarantees; relationship building; sales processes; goals and objectives; business philosophy; and more.

 

Marketing encapsulates everything that influences the CHOICES of your prospects and clients. And the choices of your prospects and clients relate to:

  • Their perception of your business, products and image;
  • Whether they purchase or not;
  • Whether they continue using or re-use your service;
  • Whether they refer your service;
  • Whether they pay;
  • How much they are willing to pay;
  • Whether or not they endorse;
  • And much more.
Let Silvernail Consultant Services help you build your business


Respectfully,

Recently the Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation has published material agencies may want to consider for your sentinel policies

You may access JACHO at http://www.jointcommission.org. The link between health care worker fatigue and adverse events is well documented, with a substantial number of studies indicating that the practice of extended work hours contributes to high levels of worker fatigue and reduced productivity. These studies and others show that fatigue increases the risk of adverse events, compromises patient safety, and increases risk to personal safety and well-being. While it is acknowledged that many factors contribute to fatigue, including but not limited to insufficient staffing and excessive workloads, the purpose of this Sentinel Event Alert is to address the effects and risks of an extended work day and of cumulative days of extended work hours.

 

Do you need a consultant to assist you with JACHO Accreditation? Give Silvernail Consultant Services a call? 561-642-3103

What is JACHO accreditation?


Joint Commission accreditation can be earned by many typesof health care organizations, including hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, office-based
surgery centers, behavioral health treatment facilities, and providers of home care services.

Hello Colleagues,  

 

I'm in the middle of the state and national project to assist in address the public health issue of domestic violence. I am one of several dedicated individuals who strives to  continue to build strong relationships within our communities . Information is crucial to any effort to promote accountability.

 

You're well aware of the specialized domestic violence courts which currently exist and are designed to improve victim safety and enhance defendant accountability. We have been very fortunate to have some very successful DV courts in Florida, however the criminal justice system becomes increasingly complex each year as new laws and decisions have been impacted political change and legal standards dramatically. This is also a time when even our government offices , Department Children & Family and law enforcement is being affected by hiring freezes and budget cuts, the result is fewer resources and public programs for those accused of crimes, and their friends and families.

 

As part of a team, it's our attempt to step into action and take action. Education and sharing valuable resources are key during these stressful times. I would like to solicit well-written and factual articles that I could place within a state dispersed newsletter.
This newsletter will have an opportunity to reach not only advocates, BIP providers, judges, probation officers, law enforcement, educators, clinicians and various state officials.

 

An example of content should you desire to submit an article:
* Best Practice approaches
* Solution focused approaches in hard times..
* When politics impacts resources for victim safety
* The alarming increase in domestic violence cases with a special emphasis on special populations. (Elderly, Military Vet's,  Co-occurring)
* An overview and impact from the governors suggested budget cuts- how does this truly affect families impacted by domestic violence ?
* Trauma therapy evidence-based articles- best practice approaches
*  Issues around legality assessments- and skilled assessors

 

Please provide me with your thoughts

 

Respectfully,
