Assessing the feasibility, performance of geriatric clinics.
Geriatric outpatient clinics offer a way for healthcare providers to add Medicare patients and better manage their care. Opening a new clinic, however, requires a substantial commitment from hospital executives and a sizable investment, sometimes including an operating subsidy until clinic volume can cover initial expenses and continuing operations. Hospitals considering such a move should weigh the strategic effects on medical staff members; assess competitors; conduct a detailed marketing analysis; and forecast expenses and revenues.
