Clinical Quality
Why is MinuteClinic the most trusted name in retail health care? Our commitment
to quality. Our innovations, clinical safeguards, processes —
even our structure — illustrates our commitment to providing our patients
the high-quality care they might expect from their doctor's office, urgent care
center or emergency room. And we support the continual advancement of quality through
initiatives such as:
National Clinical Quality Advisory Council
The NCQAC brings together thought leaders from
academic organizations, such as the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American
Academy of Pediatrics and renowned American Schools of Nursing, as well as from
other leading national health care organizations, for clinical collaboration and
guidance, and for the strategic input that will help us meet our patient care goals.
The Joint Commission Accreditation
The national evaluation and certifying agency for nearly 15,000 health care organizations
and programs in the United States, the The
Joint Commission's state-of-the-art standards focus on patient safety and
quality of care. MinuteClinic is proud to be the first retail health care provider
to seek out and achieve Joint Commission accreditation.
Electronic Medical Record System
Our proprietary EMR system was created specifically
for our practice model. It provides our practitioners with a number of benefits,
including built-in evidence-based clinical guidelines with the latest clinical information,
accessibility to patient records from any location, automated chart review processes,
e-prescribe functions and an easy process for payment and insurance information.
All of these tools are essential for our practitioners to be able to spend their
time taking care of patients, not paperwork.
