Workplace & Retail Clinic Bulletin June 2018

"I think that there's a real opportunity for a place like Walmart to start building healthcare delivery in lower-acuity settings that move beyond the kind of clinics inside the stores where you're basically doing flu shots... and relatively simple, straightforward stuff. I think you could start moving to more of an urgent care model, where you start dealing with patients that have somewhat more complex but still basically primary care needs."

-John Matthews, KPMG Strategy leader for healthcare & life sciences

"Among employers with 1,000 or more workers, the prevalence of [worksite] clinics has increased from about 16 percent in 2009 to 23 percent in 2016."
