The past decade has seen a surging popularity in the rise of urgent care centers. These centers are outpatient-based facilities that are intended to divert low-acuity and non-emergency conditions away from the hospital emergency room. The value proposition behind urgent care centers is that the cost to see a patient and the wait times at the urgent care center vs. the hospital emergency room are lower. However, for conditions that do require extensive diagnostic testing and/or specialized provider knowledge, the general urgent care center can only “triage” the condition and send the patient to a specialist for follow-up. The value proposition of specialized orthopedic urgent care is that the scope of focus and expertise is narrowed to that of musculoskeletal and orthopedic care. This means that only musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries are seen, and only staff with clinical expertise in these areas are hired. All diagnostics testing and treatment solutions relevant to these specialties are co-located where the patient is seen. This means that in one visit, a patient will get an expert opinion on their condition that will be informed by the relevant tests needed to render that opinion (e.g. digital x-ray, ultrasound, MRI in some cases, fluoroscopy). Furthermore, definitive treatment is rendered at the center and without a need for the patient to see another doctor. This treatment could come in the way of a cast, a splint, a steroidal or non-steroidal injection, a brace or rehabilitative treatment.
