SCOTTSDALE, AZ—The US healthcare system is under constant pressure to find lower-cost delivery options regardless of changes to healthcare policy. This has resulted in an increase in ambulatory care facilities like urgent-care centers and diagnostic laboratories. In a recent non-traditional retail spaces for medical facilities panel at RealShare Healthcare, we learned that these retail-oriented facilities are expected to continue to rise in popularity.
According to Andrew Romerdahl, senior director of real estate and construction at Providence St. Joseph health, one thing to look for in these type of facilities is typical access. “Making it convenient for the consumer is a relatively new topic for the healthcare system,” he said. “Now it is about how we can make it possible for people to not disrupt their lives to get the services they need. We are trying to get out of the business of sick care—it isn't a sustainable model in the future.”
