Urgent Care Medicine
Urgent Care Medicine Physicians treat a broad spectrum of injuries and illnesses in "walk-in" patients who often require immediate outpatient care with the resources of a dedicated medical facility, typically refered to as an Urgent Care Center (UCC). These UCCs normally do not have the full resources of an Emergency Department (ED), but provide more convenient care at a lower cost.Patients opting for UCCs over EDs can pose significant legal risks as UCCs often lack the diagnostic equipment necessary to perform proper triage and patient transfers for grave medical emergencies (e.g., they often do not have ultrasound or CT capabilities).
Allegations of medical negligence in Urgent Care Medicine are often related to failure to diagnose, failure to treat, failure to report, and failure to follow up. Walk-in patients at UCCs are less likely to have a relationship with the Urgent Care Physician, and that lack of rapport increases the risk of negligence claims in unsatisfactory outcomes. As UCCs depend on marketing themselves to the local area, they are also at greater risk of having patients misunderstand UCCs’ capabilities.
Many Urgent Care Physicans are board certified in Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and/or Internal Medicine, some are board certified in Urgent Care Medicine (BCUCM) by the American Board of Physician Specialities, while others may be certified as Diplomates of the American Board of Urgent Care Medicine (DABUCM).
Some UCCs may also have a UCAOA accreditation by the Urgent Care Association of America. As such, they are normally required to have a licensed physician as the medical director and have some diagnostic equipment on site (eg.: phlebotomy and x-ray equipment). The majority of UCCs have physicians on site, often supported by nurses, physician assistants and/or medical assitants, but a significant percentage operate without a physician on-site at all times.
