As healthcare systems evolve into an ambulatory-oriented model, it is becoming more common to see the development of multi-disciplinary practice sites, according to a blog on the Array Architects website.
These care centers can create a competitive edge for healthcare organizations and can improve provider satisfaction while, most importantly, benefiting patients, the blog said.
Originally implemented for cancer services, this model is now seen across specialties, including digestive health.
Digestive health often requires a diagnostic/procedural (endoscopy) component, which ideally should be contiguous or conveniently located to the practice site. Facilities such as Capital Health in Hopewell NJ, have integrated their endoscopy procedural suite into the hospital’s inpatient/outpatient interventional platform.
