Hospital-based wellness centers are changing the healthcare model by providing convenient access to early treatment, preventive care and pro-active wellness programs.
The increase of hospital-based wellness centers is part of the population health management movement that calls for healthcare professionals to focus more on preventing, rather than treating, illnesses, notes NorthJersey.com.
When patients have convenient access to healthcare, they seek help earlier and receive treatment before their symptoms have manifested into chronic or acute conditions that would send them to urgent care or hospital emergency centers for more costly, complicated treatment, according to a Crain’s Cleveland article.
