Urgent Care Facts & Statistics
SPECIAL NOTE |
UCAOA has recently provided a grant to a research team out of Harvard University/Massachusetts General Hospital to conduct the first-ever national benchmarking survey.
Step one of this survey is to develop a comprehensive "sampling frame" of all the identifiable urgent care centers in the country. This research will provide a definitive number of US urgent care centers. This number will be available soon.
Step two of the survey is to conduct the survey itself.
This will take place in January of 2008.
Our Facts & Statistics pages will be updated as definitive data is available. |
