Retail Clinics that are Consumer Friendly and Connected

Geisinger Health System is one of the early participants in the convenient care movement. If implemented properly into a larger system of care, these clinics can complement existing primary care offerings, increase system capacity at a lower cost than alternative methods, serve unmet community needs and attract new patients to the system. Delivery systems have a significant structural advantage as retail clinic sponsors because of their potential to integrate retail clinic operations with the full continuum of care via common electronic platforms and other means, to ultimately provide a much higher quality care service.
