Development of Ambulatory Care Centers
There is a growing trend in ambulatory care centers. Many ambulatory care centers may be taking business away from hospitals or other types of organizations. Some ambulatory care centers will only accept the best payers or the most healthy patients leaving patients with poor payers or no insurance or who are ill to be served by more traditional sources.
As the administrator of the newest ambulatory care center in town, what can you do to forge positive relationships with other health care providers? How can you defend accepting certain patients while denying others service in your facility?
