We are currently evaluating when a primary care clinic would implement a nurse clinic and if so, what would be the utilization expectation. What determining factors are used to determine if a nurse clinic should be implemented in an internal medicine/family practice? Are you looking at patient population, quality metrics, access, etc.? If so, at what measure is a nurse clinic implemented? What is the utilization expectation? Is there a goal for the number of patients seen each day in the nurse clinic?
