Retail Clinics: Healthcare Factor Or Fad?

Five years ago, retail clinics were just a blip in California and elsewhere. Nationally, the number of visits to retail clinics have grown five-fold since 2007.

In Southern California, UCLA Healthcare recently announced an arrangement for patient referrals and record sharing with CVS's MinuteClinics. And retail giant Safeway recently announced plans to build retail clinics at more than 100 of its stores in Northern and Central California.

Although such clinics provide a convenience for patients who often struggle to obtain quick urgent care appointments with their primary care physician, what are the implications for primary care delivery, s well as the traditional doctor-patient relationship? Will this provide an opportunity for nurse practitioners to expand their scope of practice? And how will the larger implementation of the Affordable Care Act in California impact the growth of retail clinics.

These questions and others will be discussed and answered at the latest Payers & Providers webinar event: Retail Clinics: Healthcare Factor Or Fad?

Gain a better understanding of the growth curve of retail clinics in California and elsewhere
Gain insights on how retail clinics could impact primary care and urgent care delivery and the physician-patient relationship
