IN early 2008, UCA revamped its annual survey in conjunction with researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University with the goal of assuring that the UCA Benchmarking Committee’s efforts produced a scientifically valid report.
Here, we present some of the data from this landmark survey.
As reported in the May installment of Developing Data, 93.3% of urgent care centers offer lab tests of one kind or another on the premises. In March, we told you that 92.6% offer occupational medicine services.
In this issue: What “other treatments and services” are most likely to be offered at urgent care centers?
