Convenience care offers a different approach to patient care and clinics are popping up in retail stores and pharmacies nationwide. Convenience care clinics provide reliable, immediate, low-cost healthcare to the general public, many of whom do not have access to traditional healthcare. With over 500 active clinics in the United States (projected to grow to 700 by the end of 2007), these clinics complement traditional medical services providers.

One of the primary barriers to wider acceptance of the convenient care industry is the lack of published data that demonstrates the quality, safety and efficacy of this new health care delivery model. While data thus far show an extremely high rate of patient satisfaction with the care received in convenient care clinics, the newness of the industry has led many in the medical community to categorize convenient care clinics as transient, unproven, of questionable quality, and as nothing more than "disruptive technology."

Plan to attend this audio conference to discuss the impact of convenient care to the health care industry. Learn how the medical community is responding to these clinics, how recent mergers and partnerships will impact the industry, and what the future holds!
