Patients are wary of seeking health care at hospitals and prefer to travel to off-campus facilities for treatment in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report released this week.
Health care real estate REIT Physicians Realty Trust commissioned healthcare consultants CVR and Carmichael & Company to conduct the survey in five of their biggest markets—Atlanta, Dallas, Louisville, Minneapolis, and Phoenix—to see how patients are choosing to obtain healthcare during the pandemic.
The survey found that when given a choice, 76.5% of respondents preferred to go to a location not connected to a hospital, like an off-campus medical office. Only 23.5% said they would not mind going to a location attached to a hospital.
