Three-Day ConvUrgentCare® Strategy Symposium
|
|
Hilton Orlando - January 23-25, 2012
|
|
The ground is shifting in the world of walk-in medicine, and in some markets it is shifting quickly. No longer can urgent care and retail clinics be viewed through the narrow lens of acute care. Primary care is creeping into the service mix, and this will likely accelerate in geographies with primary care provider shortages. But more profoundly, large health systems and private corporations are looking to profit by taking cost out of the healthcare system. Whatever you call it -- carve out medicine, accountable care, population management -- there is no question that these large organizations see retail and urgent care clinics as part of the delivery mix.
The purpose of this three-day strategy symposium is to gather healthcare strategy and business development leaders and generate the latest ideas and tools needed to plot a 10-year strategy that increases patient access and convenience, lowers costs and improves quality while contributing financially to each participant’s respective organization.
The symposium will take place January 23-25, 2012, at the Orlando Hilton in Orlando, FL. The conference registration fee is $899.

One-Day Advanced ConvUrgentCare® Seminar
|
|
Puts Your Leadership Team On The Same Page
|
|
This one-day seminar is for organizations with a certain degree of urgent care and retail clinic knowledge but is looking to coalesce that knowledge into a walk-in medicine strategy and business plan for the next 10 years. The seminar takes place either at your site and covers retail clinics, urgent care centers, and even fast tracks for primary care clinics. We profile major operators and retailers and highlight why many retail clinic operators have failed. We compare revenue sources and insurance participation for different walk-in approaches. We’ll also look at a single clinic proforma exercise and break-even analysis, market saturation analysis, and day-to-day operating realities. On-site seminars are customized to your geographic and business circumstances, including analysis of local competition, retail options, market saturation analysis, and high-level insurance reimbursement analysis. The on-site seminar fee is $3,200 plus expenses. Click here for a full description. Call us for scheduling at (651) 483-0450.
“Merchant Medicine delivered a customized day-long seminar that really gave us the background we needed to develop a solid strategy. I liked the fact that they gave us the tools we needed to analyze our own market situation rather than charging an additional consulting fee to do it for us.” -- Jennie Rhinehart, Community Hospital, Tallassee, Alabama
