Top-Quality Care
MinuteClinic moves the treatment of common
illness forward while adhering to the same principles as traditional
health care centers. Thanks to our innovations and safeguards, quick
and convenient health care comes with the top-quality care you might
expect from your doctor’s office, urgent care center or emergency room.
The innovations and safeguards that MinuteClinic uses to ensure quality care include focused treatment, qualified clinicians, quality control and adherence to national clinical practice guidelines.
Our approach to focused treatment means we
concentrate on the common illnesses with which we can help you the
most. That focus also alerts us when we can’t help, letting us quickly and safely refer you to the health care center that can best address your concern.
Top-quality health care depends on
clinicians that are thoughtful, caring and, above all, qualified. To
ensure it delivers top-quality health care, MinuteClinic hires only the
most qualified clinicians. Our masters prepared nurse practitioners and
physician assistants possess the licenses, certifications and clinical
experience that ensure effective treatment of your common illnesses.
Top-quality health care depends on strict
quality control. And, at the heart of MinuteClinic’s quality control is
our Electronic Medical Records system. Guided by our proprietary
software, our Electronic Medical Records system ensures that procedures
are followed consistently. It guards against mistakes. And, it alerts
practitioners when a condition should be referred elsewhere.
MinuteClinic is the first and only retail health care organization to be accredited by The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO), the national evaluation and certifying agency for nearly 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States.
Following established
national clinical practice guidelines is another way MinuteClinic works
to deliver consistent and top-quality health care. As a patient, you
can be confident that your treatment is based on the most current
medical research and best practices.
