How Patients are Utilizing this Convenient Form of On-demand Care

Urgent care centers continue to be a popular alternative for patients in need of care that fits their busy schedules. The convenience of these clinics—with longer hours and broader availability—is appealing to patients seeking fast, reliable relief to minor injuries and illnesses.

As providers look to meet these needs by opening new urgent care clinics, it helps to know the top diseases being treated at these facilities. The list of diseases shown in the infographic below provides a helpful starting point for urgent care placement discussions.

Demographics: Key Considerations When Placing Urgent and Primary Care Clinics

With so much competition for patients among healthcare providers, picking a convenient, attractive spot for your new facility is crucial. As covered in an earlier post, we’ve considered six key factors for the successful placement of a new primary care or urgent care clinic. In this post, we’ll take a deeper look at the sixth consideration on that list: demographics.

If you’re not targeting the right demographic, all other considerations are essentially irrelevant. To look at it another way, all five of the other considerations are dependent upon demographics. It doesn’t matter how good parking is if the patients you're hoping to attract won’t come to that area. If your proposed clinic doesn’t have any competition, that could be because your competition is right in the heart of your target demographic while your location is outside the viable radius (or perhaps it’s the other way around).

6 Considerations for New Urgent and Primary Care Clinics

Strategic Planning and Site Placements

Picking the right location is a critical challenge for any hospital or health system looking to grow strategically through a new site placement. Coffee shops provide a simple, yet appropriate, illustration. You have likely seen a hip, new coffee shop that serves great drinks close their doors after six months because it was in the wrong geographic location and couldn’t generate enough business. Perhaps visitors didn’t bother going because it was too far “off the beaten path.” Or there was always a line of cars waiting to turn into the parking lot so everyone who visited ended up frustrated or late to their final destination because of the congestion (and thus, never returned). Either way, you hopefully see the point: whether it’s coffee or medical care, people tend to make purchase decisions based off of location and convenience.
