Clinic of the Future

Considerations

Clinics may use collaboration between call centers for registration, scheduling, vitals, and check-
in before transferring telehealth calls to the provider who may be located elsewhere.
Drive-up check-in
Wait in car; reduced waiting rooms; separate waiting rooms
PPE and application prior to entering front door of clinic, including handwashing
stations with no-touch services
Flexible exam/telehealth rooms (some larger ones to facilitate dynamic exams)
Minimal offices; with telemedicine providers working remotely (from home or
centralized call center)
Bigger data and electrical closets
Reduced supply closet/storage space, unless increase in procedural volume,
which could lead to increased specific supply needs
Telemedicine technology counters/tables/consult spaces to provide and educate
patients on using in-home equipment
Branded and partnered telemedicine rooms within general office spaces for
access to care or in long-term care, rehab facilities, detention centers, etc.
