Pharmacy Times, AJMC Lead Panel Discussion on Retail Clinics and Health Care Reform
Pharmacy Times, The American Journal of Managed Care, and the Convenient Care Association presented a panel discussion on how the Affordable Care Act is affecting the health care landscape and opportunities it is offering to retail clinics.
Pharmacy Times and the American Journal of Managed Care have partnered with the Convenient Care Association to present a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities surrounding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for pharmacists, retail clinics, and managed care. The panel discussion, which featured top industry leaders and innovators, was held at the Union League of Philadelphia on November 18, 2013. (The Convenient Care Association is a Strategic Alliance Partner of Pharmacy Times.)
Retail clinics are currently located in 40 states and the District of Columbia and provide patient care with expanded hours and more convenient locations than conventional doctors’ offices. The clinics are typically open nights and weekends and are located in pharmacies, health systems, workplaces, and even public recreation centers. They are poised to play an important role in providing care for the estimated 30 million Americans who will obtain health insurance as a result of the implementation of health care reform.
Traditionally, retail clinics have provided acute care. However, several panelists noted that the clinics are branching out into management of obesity and other chronic conditions, filling gaps in patient care, and helping patients to quit smoking.
