Expanding Diagnostic Capabilities in Primary Care


As more patients seek care outside the hospital, the role of primary care is changing. Other care settings — such as urgent care facilities and walk-in retail clinics — are also seeing an increase in patient visits.13

Treating more complex patients14 — and working hand in hand with specialists across care settings — means there is a greater need to:
