Designers not only need to know the different requirements for each of these spaces, but also understand how certain design strategies affect the patient’s experience in the space. This book explores all aspects of clinic design, and describes how aesthetics and functionality can merge to provide a positive experience for patients, staff, and healthcare providers. * Understand how recent industry developments impact facility design * Learn how design strategies can help create a positive patient experience * Examine emerging clinic models that are becoming increasingly prevalent * Analyze the impact of technology on clinic design A well-designed clinic is essential for the well-being of the patients and health care providers that occupy the space every day. The healthcare industry is shifting, and the healthcare design industry must shift with it to continue producing spaces that are relevant to ever-evolving patient and worker needs. For complete guidance toward the role of design, Modern Clinic Design is a thorough, practical reference.

Written By Michael Tetreault, Editor
Unlike the high-end retainer-based practices that made the news a decade ago, most concierge care, membership medicine, and direct-pay physician practices cost less than $130 per month. But, when our team examined these practices a little deeper, looking at basic service offerings, etc., we learned that general primary care and visits to the practice for annual physical examinations are not enough to keep patients happy and coming back year after year.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) Model
By The Direct Primary Care Coalition, April 2014
Most family practice and internal medicine physicians working in private practice today are burdened by ever-shrinking reimbursement rates and a growing list of administrative tasks required by insurance companies. In response, many primary care physicians are exploring alternative practice options, some of which are being encouraged by policy changes embedded in the Affordable Care Act.
Some doctors are embracing the economic security and reduced administrative burden that comes with employment. Others are selling their practices to hospitals and/or larger groups. And a small but growing number are showing interest in direct- pay practice models that allow doctors to reduce, or in some cases eliminate entirely, the administrative hassles and costs of dealing with insurance.
There are several models in which physicians collect a monthly retainer fee directly from patients instead of relying on fee-for-service reimbursement from third parties. Although the services provided for this charge varies, some of the benefits to physicians in adopting a direct-pay model include:

WHITE PAPER: On Retainer: Direct Primary Care Practices Bypass Insurance
APRIL 2014; California Healthcare Foundation; Dave Chase
Direct primary care (DPC) is an emerging model that has gained some attention in California and nationally in recent years. Sometimes referred to as “retainer practices,” DPC practices generally do not accept health insurance, instead serving patients in exchange for a recurring monthly fee — usually $50 to $80 — for a defined set of clinical services.
This issue brief describes the landscape of DPC practices, which collectively have more than a half million people on their rolls. Five large practices that use the retainer model are highlighted in the issue brief. The patient rosters are estimations:
- Iora Health, with 2,400 patients
- MedLion, with 3,000 patients
- Paladina Health, with 8,000 patients
- Qliance, with 7,200 patients
- White Glove Health, with 40,000 patients via self-insured employers and 450,000 via health plans
DPC providers help keep costs low by avoiding unnecessary referrals and by referring mainly to specialists willing to offer significant discounts. Despite this advantage, the DPC model may be hampered by low awareness among health plans and primary care physicians, resistance from some insurers, and resistance from competing hospitals and specialists.
