"Benchmarking in the Urgent Care Industry: Top performing organizations know their performance compared to peers"
This month we discuss industry self-reporting, something that is done routinely in the retail and hospitality industry. But in the urgent care industry it has been slow to take off. We look at the reasons for the slow ramp up, make suggestions for how to gain momentum and outline the benefits to all industry participants.
Purchase the Urgent Care Benchmark Report
We are proud to announce that Merchant Medicine has partnered with the Urgent Care Association (UCA, formerly UCAOA) for this year's Urgent Care Benchmark Report. The UCA Benchmarking Report provides almost 200 different benchmarks across the last several years with trended data. It includes operational assessment of urgent care operator practices, differences in operating models, and numerous functional domains such as facility, demographics, structure, hours of operation, visits, integration, staffing, compensation, benefits, technology, marketing, coding, services offered, services details, revenue, expenses, billing, compliance, certification/quality, and others.
