SCOTTSDALE, AZ—“We can expect to see more of the trend toward efficiency and consolidation in the healthcare space.” That is according to panelists at Thursday's RealShare Healthcare conference here in Scottsdale, AZ.

According to Julie A. Johnson, principal of the health care affinity group at Avison Young, who spoke on the “Healthcare's Shifting Facility Needs” panel, since the affordable care act, the average clinic size has grown. She said it might have been around 2,500 square feet previously but is now typically starting at 5,000 square feet and can go up to 15,000 square feet. The reason for the growth, she said, is due to adding more services, labs and more with the growth of outpatient clinics rather than in the hospital.
