  1. Why the demand of Urgent Care Centers is increasing? Now days, you can see urgent care centers almost everywhere in Hawaii. Today, most of the hospitals have started opening their own urgent care centers. There are 7,100 full service urgent care centers in USA. Nearly 22% are owned by hospitals, 15% care centers are associated with hospitals and 19% are owned by corporate entities. These centers fill the need of urgent care that falls between emergency and primary care. The access to care becomes easy and it reduces the crowds in the emergency department. This is mostly useful to the patients with low acuity conditions since they may have no other medical option. There are many hospitals slowly diverting into the business of urgent care centers as this makes easy for patients to have follow up care from a specialist. The comfort and ease observed by patients due to these centers has led to the growth of them in Hawaii. With the birth of these centers, the entry of non- emergency cases in the emergency rooms has been reduced.

  2. As a result, ER doctors now get sufficient time to treat emergency cases calmly. They now focus on critical cases with a relaxed mind. During their urgent care visit, patients are able to see their previous health records based on which the treatments may be continued. Based on the need and want of the patients, urgent care centers have seen tremendous growth and will rise as time passes. It is the job of such centers to ensure that patients get high level care and emergency rooms get saved from being overcrowded. This improves the patient experience and they will be loyal to the centers that provide appropriate care during critical times. As a result, the level of confidence in urgent care centers increases. Those associated with hospital systems are trusted the most as compared to the non-associated ones. Who loves these centers the most? Senior adults over the age of 50 love these centers the most as they can easily get the care required because their records and treatment are already available within the hospital system. Such centers also accept medical insurances from Medicare and other companies. Care centers that are not associated with hospital systems provide patients the facility to forward their details to primary doctors as well as specialists. Further, such centers provide complete customer services. There also centers which serve as mini hospitals so that complete care is given during the toughest situations which may save patients’ lives. Urgent care centers associated with branded hospitals attract the customers more as they are already aware of the brand and the trust is already there. For instance, if any senior adult is taking treatment from a hospital for years and he found that the hospital has opened an urgent care center, he/she is likely to visit it first before visiting any other center. Reason being, the patient is familiar with the services for a long time and completely trusts them.

  3. On average, such centers handle four visits per hour resulting in about 50 visits per day. Care centers that meet the customer service expectations, care quality and efficiency are preferred. Final Notes: If you are in need of a care center, just search on Google “Urgent Care Near Me” and you will find nearby centers that offer urgent care in emergency situations when you don’t have time to visit hospital. There are many such centers launched in Hawaii since 2016. You will easily find one near you. Try out their services and see how you feel. Source URL: https://goo.gl/JdKNe7
