Abstract:
Will the impact of baby boomers, as they age, be a bonanza or a bust for the healthcare system? A range of perspectives prevail, from increasing in-patient admissions capacity to accommodate the sheer numbers, to the creation of a variety of healthcare services and delivery channels that address their unique requirements.

The strategic marketing process using segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) was employed to guide the administration's planning and decision making.
