Consumer-driven services in business and the need for efficiency are accelerating changes in the way organizations operate and compete. Many consumers today are taking greater control of their purchasing power and healthcare decisions and are demanding excellence in service. The challenge is how to give them the best service in a meaningful and economic way.
Organizational survival relies on healthcare leaders with the vision, determination, and courage to test various methods of enhancing the patient experience. Patient expectations are being set by other industries and healthcare disrupters like retail clinics. How can hospitals and health systems provide the same level of customer service to stay competitive?

Organic growth and acquisitions have rendered existing Ambulatory Care Networks obsolete and inefficient. Healthcare systems are focusing on developing ideal geographic distributions of new and current sites of care that optimize access, capital costs, operational costs, and population health management goals. They are creating standardized templates for the “Medical Office Building of the Future,” including a common vision for end-to-end flow of patients, staff, and providers in the new facilities, and space requirements to support lean operations, and virtual care.
Healthcare executives and ambulatory care managers must understand how to deploy ambulatory care to best support their organizations’ strategic, financial, and operating goals.
