4.Hospital or Hotel? Luxury Hospitals Entice Patients

All across the country, hospital visits are starting to feel a little bit more like a trip to a luxury resort. From room service to spa services to a room with a view, healthcare facilities are offering high-end amenities to entice new patients–and their insurers’ money.

The Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center opened its doors in 2008 and the luxe hospital’s “Better Way to Get Better” ad campaign featured private rooms, room service meals, massage therapists and views of Los Angeles. The campaign proved effective. According to the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, the proportion of patients who said they would recommend UCLA rose from 71% to 85% after the new and improved hospital opened. https://medlines.org/hospital-hotel-luxury-hospitals-entice-patients/
