Focused Treatment
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.
Clear Care Guidelines
Focused treatment results in more straightforward care guidelines for the common illnesses we treat.
This focused treatment approach ensures the strict quality control you get from our Electronic Medical Records system. The system’s robust proprietary software helps our qualified clinicians
follow the national clinical practice guidelines that underlie focused
treatment and make sure that you are getting top-quality health care.
Focused treatment also makes it easy for you to determine when your
common illness will be served by MinuteClinic. We serve you best when
you think you might need treatment for one of the medical services on
which we focus. For these, we offer quick confirmation and, when
necessary, the correct prescription.
Clear Alerts for Referral
Our approach to focused treatment also alerts us should your illness
fall outside that focus. We can confirm the common illnesses we treat
with simple tests – a quick strep test, for example – that we
can do quickly and onsite.
Focusing on common illness makes it obvious when you have something
more serious. That helps us know when we’re faced with an illness that
more appropriately can be treated by your doctor, an urgent care center
or an emergency room. (And, remember, we never charge you when we do
refer you to another health care center.)
