seattle post-intelligencer (wa): putting the patient first

at revolution health, we are investing in rediclinics -- one of several companies creating nurse-practitioner staffed medical clinics inside retail stores. these clinics are inexpensive (about $39 per visit), open at nights and on weekends and involve virtually no waiting.

tonight i read, welcome to physician's news digest

pharmacy chain cvs corp. agreed to acquire minuteclinic inc., highlighting the push by retailers to offer in-store treatment for minor maladies such as sore throats, vaccinations and other health care.

for retailers, including giants such as wal-mart stores inc. and walgreen co., in-store health clinics have become a way to attract customers looking to avoid long waits in doctor's offices, while customers are also likely to fill a prescription in the same store or buy medication, reported the wall street journal. some doctors are alarmed, worrying patients will get substandard care - a concern clinic operators say is unfounded, the journal added.

(wall street journal, july 14, 2006)

must be something possitive about the idea of np clinics if big business now involved.

I have always preferred a NP over a Doc. The Doc usually spends less than 15 minutes with me and rarely listens to what I have to say. The NP usually does a thorough assessment and actually takes notes. I think these urgent care/mini clinics will help take some of the pressure off the Docs so that they can focus on more pressingly acute patients.
