- Authors
Levine, David; Linder, Jeffrey; Levine, David M; Linder, Jeffrey A
- Abstract
The author discusses a study by JM Polinski and colleague describing a cross-sectional quality improvement assessment of retail clinic-health based telehealth. Topics discussed include concern about retail clinics where they create a demand for unnecessary services and has the potential to stimulate unnecessary follow-up care and the need for primary care practices and clinicians to look at visits to emergency department and retail clinics as sentinel events.
