This week MobiHealthNews is proud to serve up our latest report, Mobile Health at the Clinic, which explores the mobile apps and services currently offered at outpatient clinics, including retail, urgent care, and employer clinics. The report also delves into some of the mobile health services that these clinics are likely to begin offering in the near future. The complimentary report is available to download free of charge right here.

Here are a few excerpts from Mobile Health at the Clinic:

Mobile health tools promise similar benefits as clinics: lower costs and more convenient care. As a result, employer and retail clinics are perhaps the best-positioned healthcare facilities to drive adoption of mobile health services.

As new entrants like Walmart step up to build out retail clinics that provide primary care services, large employers continue to roll out on-site clinics, and existing retail clinic chains ink deals with local hospital groups to form collaborative care systems, mobile health services will have an increasing presence at the clinic.

It is likely a number of disparate primary care providers will adopt these connected health services, but none can match the scalability that Walgreens’ Take Care clinics, CVS MinuteClinics, or the many planned Walmart clinics can offer mobile health services. If any of these large national retail clinic chains decides to launch mobile health services at its clinics, they will immediately be one big step ahead of the majority of primary care providers.

While the number of retail clinics has not grown as quickly as most industry analysts predicted, the coming year could still prove to be pivotal for clinics. The opportunity for new services and revenue streams is ripe. New consumer health devices and apps enter the market each month.

The case for mobile health at the clinic is a compelling one. Full Report.
