FLORIDA’S INNOVATIVE FULL-SERVICE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
August 6, 2022 | John J. Pasquini
The full-service, one-stop medical center is the healthcare industry’s equivalent to the one-stop shopping center.
With Florida’s large senior population, its growing influx of young workers, and its business-friendly climate, Florida has become a mecca for the ever-increasing healthcare industry—and in particular, the full-service, one-stop wellness medical center.
Florida’s pioneering full-service, one-stop wellness medical centers—with their multiple specialty offices and in-office labs—are attractive to patients, physicians, and the healthcare business as a whole.
Patients
Patients love the convenience of having all their medical needs met in one location. Patients are comforted in knowing that whatever healthcare condition or conditions they are diagnosed with, they will receive the best of care from the shared knowledge and collective wisdom of the center’s physicians.
Blood draws, x-rays, and a multitude of procedures, no longer require travel to a specialist or hospital. In one place, ailments are evaluated, diagnosed, and treated. And if medication is needed, the in-office pharmacy is prepared to fill the prescription.
In the fight against Cancer, Florida’s Mayo Clinic exemplifies the best in Florida’s full-service, patient-centered approach. Under one roof, doctors, researchers, and scientists work together in fighting, mitigating, and curing cancers. Under one roof, the combined efforts and collective wisdom of professionals diagnose and treat cancers.
Physicians
Physicians welcome full-service medical centers. They appreciate the regular work hours and the service they are able to provide. Quick lab results, coordination with colleagues, and more familiarity with patients make for a more enjoyable and conducive work environment.
Due to the collective, holistic approach to patient care, physicians find reassurance in their treatments and enhanced communication with their colleagues. Staff evaluations of ailments, methods of treatment, and even the task of transferring medical records lessen the stress that physicians in single-practice clinics often experience.
Healthcare Companies
In the age of telehealth, patients are looking for convenience and patient-centered care. Full-service medical centers provide convenience and patient-centered care, thus, increasing patient traffic. Increased patient business provides increased profits for doctors and medical firms.
Patients, physicians, and healthcare companies all win in the full-service approach to health care.
Given Florida’s growing and changing population demographics, Florida’s healthcare is likely to remain rewarding. With its innovative approach to full-service, one-stop wellness care, Florida will likely continue being a thriving and profitable hub for physicians and healthcare firms for years to come.
