The target market would be elderly patients between 65-85 with frequent hospital admissions between 1-3 admissions in varying facilities ie. Hospitals. Rehab. Snf. As well as homecare for patients that were recently discharged. Here is where my marketing plan would come into play market those services to homecare agencies

ive had a business idea for somtime (i know im sure there are many ) but im wondering why nobdy is swabing peoples houses for bad bacteria. if you swabed several areas of a house you could identify bacteria and tell the homowner how to properly clean it . which could be a big help to the homecare industry . you would need a lab to run your swabs (maybe out of country to cut cost , and you might be able to get the insurance industry involved if you can keep people out of the hospital and save them money. as for profit charge a fee for the swabbing and possible insurance billing .. just a thought what do you all think ??

whats the funniest excuse you have ever heard for a patient wanting more pain medication?We all have had some whoppers,but with going on 16 years of nursing experiance in various hospitals these are some of the most creative ive ever heard.ALso i addded my thoughts at the time. 1."I think im going to have pain in an hour,can i get some pain medication now?" (i almost gave pain meds because it cracked me up ) 2."The last pain shot you just gave me didn't work, im going to need another." (forget it not going to happen) 3."I just transfered in from the ER and they said you would give me pain medication." (if they said that, why does your chart say you got pain meds in the ER?) 4."The doctor was just here and he upped my pain medication." (that's odd, i didn't see him ) 5.(the patient calls nurse to room) "Its time for my pain shot." (cell phone alarm heard beeping in the background prior to that the pt was sleeping.) 6."My pain is a 11 on a 1-10 scale!" (yup i can see that your pain is bad,its must be so bad your ordering pizza?) 7 (During assesment and discussing pain scale)"my pain is a 10!" (pt is watching tv and feet are crossed while talking on cellphone) 8."Im going to need my percocet,ambien,ativan and soma,so i can sleep tonight." (yup, you will sleep alright and you will wake up when we vote the next president in ) 9."I didnt take my pain meds this morning before coming to the ER and im in pain. (Riggght sure you didn't) 10."Morphine dones't work for me im going to need somthing stronger." (they sell really strong stuff out in the street if you change your mind) Hope you enjoyed it and lets hear what they tried to sneak past you!
