Some of the most difficult decisions in figuring out how to start an urgent care revolve around selecting, designing and setting up the physical space.
Acquiring or constructing space for your new practice can be expensive, so you should know what you will need and can afford to meet requirements, while planning for future additions if possible.
Clinic Space
General guidelines for sizing indicate that for each provider in your practice you will need four to five exam rooms (9′ x 9′), one radiology suite, a centralized nursing area, and one procedure room. Your clinic must have a welcoming reception area, medical record/business office designed for privacy, an enclosed break room, doctor’s office and adequate storage space. In addition, you will need restrooms in your waiting room, for your staff, for clinical use and for drug screening (preferably one designed with Department of Transportation rules in mind).
