Starting from Scratch: How the Retail Clinic Industry Has Overcome Foundational Issues in Health Care
Abstract
The challenges facing the U.S. healthcare system have increasingly come into the public eye. At a high level, clinicians, politicians, patient advocates and payers are striving to improve the system. However, navigation of the diverse goals and priorities for each stakeholder group can cloud a vision of greater access, higher quality and lower costs. The role of the innovator is to generate and execute an idea that maintains a laser focus on its objectives in the face of the complexity and challenges inherent in the system it is designed to improve. The formation and expansion of the retail clinic industry can serve as a case study for innovators.
