Primary Care Clinic

Clinic Enhances Team Approach to Patient Care

Healthcare organizations are increasingly adopting the "team" approach in primary care clinics to facilitate staff communication, enhance quality and increase efficiency. To foster the team medicine work style favored by MultiCare, Clark/Kjos designed this clinic with a centralized staff space with a view of each exam room door.

This primary care clinic includes 18 exam rooms, a minor procedure room, X-ray, blood draw and lab, and injection room. MA stations face the exam room hallways for easy access and visual control, while provider workspaces are screened within a more private, semi-enclosed group work area. The entire care team can then see the status of each patient's progress through the visit and can collaborate closely for their care
