Urgent Care and Quick Care
In our Urgent Care and Quick Care clinics, we utilize the standard Epic tools for ambulatory care, but we also utilize Epic's Urgent Care module and Express Lanes to efficiently track and manage patients, and streamline the documentation needs for common reasons of visit. Epic's Urgent Care Module is designed for Urgent Care and Quick Cares, to help clinicians operate at a higher degree of efficiency while maintaining an outpatient model of care.
