Competition in Health Care

Evaluate the benefits and pitfalls of competition in health care and suggest alternatives if competition was not the primary driver of operations in the U.S. health care system.
Explain the elements of successful competition and the use of competitive intelligence.
Describe the influence competition has on the services offered by health care organizations and the choices patients have.
