Coined as “the hospitals of the future” by the Wall Street Journal, micro-hospitals are
independent, fully licensed & accredited acute care facilities capable of treating a wide range
of medical conditions similar in acuity to larger community hospitals.
- S M A L L F O O T P R I N T
The term “micro” is applied because of the
noticeably smaller building footprint
which typically ranges from 20,000 to
40,000 square feet and consists of 8 ER
and 8 inpatient beds. The smaller
footprint requires significantly less
capital investment and real estate than a
traditional hospital, and it allows for more
flexibility in site selection. - L O W C O S T
Not only is the cost of construction lower
but the overall operational cost to run
these facilities is a small percentage of
what traditional hospitals require. This is
due largely in part to the unique, lean
staffing model that is utilized.
For the cost of a single traditional
hospital, a health system could build a
large network of micro-hospitals across a
significant geographic area. - S T R A T E G I C E X P A N S I O N
Micro-hospitals can be deployed as part
of an offensive strategy allowing health
systems to rapidly expand into new
communities at a fraction of the cost and
time that would be required for more
traditional buildings. Or from a defensive
perspective, filling gaps between service
areas to defend against competitive
growth. - A C C E S S I B I L I T Y
Micro-hospitals can reduce patient travel
time and increase outreach, boosting the
ability of health systems to reach new
patients. Many organizations have used
micro-hospitals to enter growing retail
areas to provide convenient healthcare
access where patients live, work, and
play. - P A T I E N T S A T I S F A C T I O N
Micro-hospitals offer patients a premium
experience that focuses on delivering high
quality care in a manner that is more
personable than what larger facilities can
provide. Micro-hospitals consistently score
significantly higher than their larger
counterparts in patient satisfaction and can
be utilized to raise the health system’s
overall performance and drive patient
loyalty and repeat business. - IN T E G R A T I O N
Increasing patient access points, microhospitals
provide seamless transfer to
higher levels of care with fully integrated
medical record and better continuity of
care for patients. The micro-hospital care
team follows patients through transitions of
care throughout the health system,
delivering great service and supporting
growth in both outpatient and inpatient
services lines - T U R N K E Y S E R V I C E
