Isi artikel

Every year, 1.2 billion visits are made in ambulatory care settings, accounting for approximately one third of health care spending in the United States.1,2 Although the vast majority of these visits take place in office-based clinics and emergency departments, an increasing number of patients are seeking care in nontraditional sites such as retail clinics and urgent care centers. Retail clinics are walk-in health clinics, typically located in pharmacies or supermarkets, that provide immediate care for a narrowly defined scope of services, such as the diagnosis and treatment of minor acute illnesses, as well as some preventive care and care for chronic conditions. Urgent care centers are also walk-in health centers, but they treat a wider range of acute conditions requiring immediate but not emergency care
