Retail Clinics: Adopt the iTriage Solution and Attract Healthcare Consumers

According to the Convenient Care Association, approximately 1,200 free-standing, walk-in medical providers are now located in drug stores, shopping malls and stores like Wal-Mart and Target, serving 3.5 million patients. As a relatively new contribution to the American healthcare scene, consumers often overlook retail clinics, and instead, drive the beaten path to their doctors, urgent care centers or local emergency room.

Branding the services that retail clinics offer and bringing more consumer awareness to this new industry is top priority for these businesses. iTriage is creating that awareness by making retail clinics one of the provider options for mobile users within the iTriage software. With the abundance of retail clinics now available, setting your retail clinic(s) apart from others is imperative.

Whether the consumer needs an H1N1 flu shot or a Strep test, your retail clinic should be first on their mind. The way you do that is to put your information into their hands when they most need it.

Getting Your Retail Clinic Information to Mobile Users

You soon will find your retail clinic information on iTriage by selecting the Providers tab at the top of www.iTriageHealth.com.

“I used iTriage to locate a CVS minute clinic in my area; it was helpful to go there for a flu shot versus going to my doctor. iTriage is also great for locating medical care away from home, or in your area.” – Heidi S., Annapolis, MD

“I recently used iTriage to find a Minute clinic near me when I needed a strep throat test. It was great and told me where the closest one was and how to find information about insurance. I also looked up tonsil information about for my son. My husband downloaded this app, as well. Keep it up. It’s great! – Eve M., Olney, MD
