Possible Solution to the Healthcare Dilemma?
Staff Reporters
Another new survey suggests that convenient care medical clinics (CCMCs) could be a potential solution to health care issues, if fears can be alleviated; at least in the Keystone State.
The Survey
The survey by Widener University in Elder Pennsylvania, found that while baby-boomers aged 43 to 64 were most interested in using these clinics, many also expressed concerns regarding the quality of care likely to be delivered.
Aged played a significant role in a person’s likelihood of using a CCMC: among respondents aged 43 to 49, more than half (54 percent) were very likely or somewhat likely to use the clinics, while that number dropped to a mere 25 percent among those over 80 years of age.
Assessment
Access to health insurance influences an individual’s likelihood of using a CCMC: the percentage of respondents who were very likely or somewhat likely to use a CCMC was higher among individuals without health care insurance, than among those with insurance (65 percent versus 40 percent).
Women in the survey indicated they were very likely to worry about misdiagnosis (25 percent), yet they were more inclined to use these types of facilities than men (43 percent versus 37 percent).

Conclusion
Your thoughts and comments on the above survey are appreciated? Is the CCMC concept revolutionary, or merely evolutionary, and how do DNPs fit in the model?
