You are the physician-owner of a group practice of five-physicians; the other four doctors are employees of the practice. You have decided to become more aggressive about growing the organization by distinguishing the quality of the care it provides from that of other physician practices.

You have several questions to answer:

• How will you define the quality that you want to promote?
• How will you measure the quality that the group offers in comparison with competing practices?
• Exactly what data will you use?

Assuming that you see some value in improving the level of quality, at what points in the practice’s operations will you address the issue? (Hint: Think in terms of the practice value chain.) Suggest some examples of changes you might want to make and explain how you will know when your practice’s quality is distinctive enough to give you an advantage over your competitors. Discuss how you will promote that distinction to your patients and prospective patients. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree with the strategy assessment provided and justify your response.

 Nitin and Priya Pathak came to your office for counseling, along with their 16-year-old son Sujay. Nitin and Priya are first generation Indian-American immigrants, while their son was born and raised in the United States. They were reluctant to engage in counseling, but are doing so at the request of Sujay. In Sujay’s view, his parents are being overly controlling regarding his upcoming choice of college, which is causing increasingly frequent clashes between him and his parents. Sujay wants to attend art school, while his parents want him to attend engineering school. They state that a career in science, religion, law, or medicine is the appropriate path for a person of his caste. Sujay claims that while he wants to please his parents, he feels they are stifling his passion and imposing cultural norms that, to him, are a part of their “world” and not his. You have little knowledge of Indian culture or the caste system and are unsure whether the issue at hand is a matter of controlling parents dealing with a life transition issue or a serious conflict involving social and cultural influences.
