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.
In this issue: How common is it for urgent care centers to process lab tests onsite – and what tests are they, typically?
The question regarding lab tests was just one segment of a section of questions on services offered in urgent care centers. In the June issue of JUCM, Developing Data will report on services such as administration of intravenous fluids, sports and school physicals, and travel medicine.
