The primary care clinic of today and tomorrow is evolving with new technology, new care models and new reimbursement standards, according to a blog on the HGA website.
The clinic in 2020 will be shaped by several factors, including:
• An outmigration of care that is bringing healthcare services back to where people live and work
• Mobile devices, tablets, video streaming and electronic medical records offer alternatives to traditional clinic visits
• The conversion of former big-box retail spaces and decentralized care models that deliver services closer to the home
• A medical home model in which a primary care provider coordinates care with specialists, nurses and other professionals
