The past 2017 is considered to be a policy year for the medical industry and a year of many policies.
In line with the general trend of “distribution serviceâ€, the conservative medical industry has also produced the results of sporadic markets. Among them, "shared medical" and "Medical Mall" have become the "Apple in the eye" of many investors.
However, is this really a new form of business? For example, oral, medical aesthetics, physical examination, TCM health, eyesight and other formats that have both medical and consumer attributes, and the retail industry has long been "happy" for many years.
What is the “Medical Mall� What is its connotation and extension? The industry lacks a unified consensus. The author has previously conducted some research on the characteristics and forms of Medical Mall through literature research.
Comrade Xiaoping said well, "No matter black cats and white cats, it is a good cat to catch mice." Whether it is a health city or a shopping mall, it is a brave market-oriented exploration that can integrate medical and retail formats. Therefore, in line with the principle of setting no-limit restrictions, Yingci Medical IHG summarizes four common “retail + medical†models, mainly based on free Americans.
There are several forms of medical and retail integration in the United States: clinic clusters, retail clinics, medical malls, and individual clinics in general office buildings and shopping malls.
Clinic cluster
The clinic cluster is usually a clinic run by an individual practitioner or a group of doctors, independent of the hospital, to form a gathering and synergy. This format is prevalent in countries where physicians are free to practice, such as the United Kingdom and the United States.
Typical cases are trusts that combine basic and specialist medical care, such as the Redbridge Primary Care Trust in England and the Harrow Primary Care Trust. There is also the Polyclinic Group of Doctors in Seattle, Washington, USA.
In the case of The Polyclinic, the group was founded in 1917 and was founded by six doctors. Together, they opened a comprehensive clinic, initially renting a space inside a bank's building, setting up an X-ray, inspection room and outpatient operating room.
The Polyclinic's doctors have their own clinics but share the same block number and provide medical services including cardiology, dermatology, general medicine, gastroenterology, general surgery, internal medicine, nephrology, otolaryngology, medical beauty, lung Services such as department, urology, vaccination, patient education and medical care.
Currently, The Polyclinic has replicated 18 similar clusters in the Greater Seattle area, with approximately 200 general and specialist specialists, and has become the largest multi-specialist group in Puget Sound.
