Increasing Access to Healthcare

What kind of healthcare access do we want for our future? As Ambulatory Management Solutions Chief Clinical Officer Heather Fallon, RN points out, access expands when we look beyond hospitals to offices, clinics, and “big box” facilities that provide an equal quality of care with added convenience for patients and providers at a fraction of the cost to the healthcare system.
