You are the manager of a new primary care clinic located about twenty five (25) miles outside of a small city (population of 50,000). With five (5) family physicians,
two (2) nurse practitioners, two (2) physicians\u2019 assistants (PAs), and twenty (20) clinical support staff consisting of RNs, LPNs, and CMAs, the clinic provides
primary care services to a diverse community of people living and working outside the city limits. Originally a rural area, the community has been growing and now
includes promising opportunities in employment, education, and comfortable living spaces for young families. However, there are still many residents who struggle to
make ends meet with older farms that have belonged to families for generations.<\/p>\n

The central city includes two (2) large acute care facilities, and one (1) tertiary care facility that is known for its excellent pulmonary care. Both acute care
hospitals provide the usual services such as labor and delivery, outpatient surgery, chronic diseases care, etc. and have fully equipped ancillary departments, such as
lab and radiology. Up until this point, the residents have used the facilities\u2019 emergency departments for routine illnesses and conditions when their private
physicians were not readily available.<\/p>\n

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:<\/p>\n

Analyze some of the key social, political, and economic factors that have led to the proliferation of urgent care facilities and primary care practices over the last

Analyze and discuss one (1) or more directions the clinic might take to grow its business. Determine what factors you would consider when deciding what services to
provide in-house and which ones to affiliate with other institutions.
Decide how you will determine if the clinic is meeting its goals. Identify three (3) performance measurements you could use to evaluate the success of the clinic\u2019s
services. Begin by naming a goal, and then identify a quantifiable measurement you could use for each to determine if you are coming close or falling short of the
goal.
Determine how you would then address whatever opportunities for improvement seem to exist and what processes you would put in place.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
