Ten tips: an ambulatory care primer

Article Abstract:

HLW International, in conjunction with a survey of healthcare executives, compiled a list of design guidelines for ambulatory care services. Planners are advised to use time-specific instead of block appointment-scheduling, to provide generic and highly flexible examination/treatment spaces, to wire facilities for full computerization, and to treat ambulatory care as a business.
