• Retail Health Clinics.
One of the hardest areas in which to innovate is health care.
But whereas the current health care system is designed to treat a small number of complex cases,
retail health clinics address a large number of simple cases.
Retail health clinics such as Quick Care, RediClinic, and MinuteClinic are often found in drugstores and other retail chain stores such as Target and Walmart.
They typically use nurse practitioners to handle minor illnesses and injuries such as colds, flu, and ear infections, offer various health and wellness services such as physicals and exams for high school sports, and perform vaccinations.
They seek to offer convenient, predictable service and transparent pricing, without an appointment, seven days a week.
Most visits take no more than 15 minutes, and costs vary from $25 to $100.
