Answer preview
One aspect of the business operations described by the interviewee was telemedicine. The senior vice president mentioned the importance of this operation in enabling patients to control their prescriptions; this service was offered to patients in rural regions. I agree with the response since it would help tackle competitions by expanding the client base. It is challenging for most hospitals to provide care to different regions, but telemedicine is a viable solution (Craig and Petterson, 2015).
My general perception of the senior vice president is that he is fully aware of the roles and responsibilities of this position. Also, he focused on strategies that would expand the operation and profitability of the facility. Based on the interviewee’s response,
I would pose additional questions such as how they cut costs? How is employee staff turnover managed? Describe other strategies to manage competition?
