Convenient Care Clinics: The Essential Guide to Retail Clinics for Clinicians, Managers, and Educators

I've just become director of a fledgling Convenient Care Center, a prospect of which I knew little. While I engaged in a frantic internet search for information, my wife found this book for me. It is quite excellent and has given me all the information I need to get started. The first chapter alone (which focuses on the history and rationale for convenient care centers) is worth the price of admission. The remainder of the books covers not only the evidence based practice of CCC's, but also management of such clinics. I bought both the hardcopy and the kindle edition. I can lend the hard copy to my partners, while reading the kindle edition my self. Excellent!

THis book does give a nice over view of all the most common diagnoses you will out in the clinics. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is some of the references quoted were outdated- like 2003. If you are writing a book for 2013 you need to use references that are less than 5 yrs. old.

Great book. A must if you are considering retail health.

I work in the retail healthcare industry and can't wait to read this book. I am excited to be a part of the "disruptive innovation" and advocate and support this new model of healthcare delivery. I don't think we could be in better hands than with Sandy Ryan.
