Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 07/27/2016 - 12:10
- Retail clinics have been able to adopt information technology and data sharing efficiently to communicate with the healthcare provider’s electronic health record system
- They are growing beyond urgent care toward chronic disease management and having a larger impact on population health
- Retail clinics are forming relationships with medical schools and teaching hospitals, including Cleveland Clinic and the University of Chicago Medical Center’s relationships with MinuteClinics
- Walgreens’ in-store clinics are coordinating care for patients and invested in the Epic EHR for a communications and IT infrastructure
- The Little Clinic in Kroger stores is going even further to work with preventative services on healthy food choices, dieticians and managing consumer issues such as diabetes or allergies
- The retail clinics have self check-in kiosks for appointments and provide blood pressure, pulse, weight and BMI through self-serving machines. At Walmart, customers can get a full physical for $40
- In some retail clinic models, pharmacists are taking on medication therapy management roles for patients
- Consumers are learning to manage high-deductible health plans, making the lower costs at retail clinics attractive
