Urgent care centers in the U.S.: Findings from a national survey
BMC Health Services Research, 05/18/09

Weinick RM et al. - Urgent care centers are open beyond typical office hours, and their scope of services is broader than that of many primary care offices. While these characteristics are similar to hospital emergency departments, such centers employ significant numbers of family physicians. The payer distribution is similar to that of primary care, and physicians' average salaries are comparable to those for family physicians overall. Urgent care centers report early adoption of electronic health records, though findings are qualified by a lack of strictly comparable data.
