In some instances, we may not be the cheapest provider in the market, so we have to differentiate by creating and communicating value in what we offer. Health systems can entice their patients by offering one-stop-shop and one medical record but when it comes to pricing we need to be able to communicate ahead of time and at the same time making the experience an easy one.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking for solutions and also if anyone is working on this.
