We’re all busy. It’s become the American way — less time to do more. And this is especially true for women, who typically manage the healthcare decisions for their families, sometimes caring for multi-generations at the same time.
As a result, we demand convenience in everything — shopping, dining, entertainment and yes, health care, too. We want to access quality care that is quick and easy, and gets us back to our busy lives. This includes:
- Nearby locations with ample parking
- Extended office hours, including walk-in care for same-day/urgent needs
- Streamlined paperwork
- Prompt and efficient appointments
- Online patient portals that are easy to access and use
- Phone calls that are answered promptly and in person
What are some of the ways you make care convenient for your patients? As a patient, how could your physician make care more convenient for you?
