Retail Clinic Partnerships
The Value Proposition for Hospitals and Health Systems
Abstract
The retail-based convenient health care (“retail health”) industry was founded upon the principles of providing accessible, affordable high-quality healthcare to Americans. Since its inception, the retail health industry has grown and advanced both in the ever-increasing number of clinic locations throughout the country, and in the breadth of services offered in the clinics. During this era of exceptional growth, there has also been a striking increase in involvement of provider groups in the retail health industry. While some traditional healthcare providers initially felt threatened by a disruptive newcomer to the healthcare landscape, the number of hospitals and health systems joining forces with retail clinics has more than doubled in the last year, with over 120 systems actively involved in operating or partnering with retail clinics.
