Description:
A blueprint for planning, building, and operating a successful urgent care center or freestanding ED.
One in five Americans lacks adequate access to primary care physicians and even those patients with insurance and a primary care doctor can struggle to get same-day appointments, leaving many seeking treatment in overcrowded, high-cost emergency departments. Urgent care centers offer patients a lower-cost, convenient alternative to hospitals. For providers, these centers represent new business opportunities.
This roadmap to urgent care centers will help you and your organization:
- Create a financial plan
- Determine whether to lease or build
- Develop an efficient staffing model
- Effectively market the urgent care center
- Learn strategies to grow and expand the urgent care center's services
