SCOTTSDALE, AZ—“As patient preferences shift toward cost or value, providers are adjusting their services to meet this demand.” That is according to Trisha Talbot, a managing director in the Phoenix office of Newmark Knight Frank.

Talbot, a speaker at the upcoming RealShare Healthcare conference here in December, says that she is seeing everything from practices that serve the high volume, low income patient-base to those with employer-based insurance to the other end of the spectrum where they offer concierge medicine.

When asked about trends in the sector, she said that the trend for a practice to be located near a serving hospital is consistent. “Providers seeking retail locations is a trend I see continuing in the New Year. Adaptive reuse of retail space that has gone dark, developing retail pad sites and/or absorbing in-line retail spaces have all become popular. Retail offers providers to offer its patients visibility, parking and convenience next to other amenities.”

She explains that acute care hospitals and outpatient care will always be required. “There are patients that require a lot of healthcare services and patients that do not. If a patient uses a lot of healthcare services, most likely cost-effective and convenient access to services will be important. If a patient only needs an annual check-up and urgent care services for the occasion flu, their concerns are different. Healthcare practices to serve both needs and those in between are required. The challenge is how practices are deciding what to offer and what demographic they want to serve.”
