Revolutionizing Retail Health: Beyond Walk-In Care to Full-Spectrum Consumer Health Navigation & Engagement
Looking to Strengthen Continuity of Care? We Make It Possible.
Retail clinics and pharmacies are the most accessible points of care for millions of consumers, yet health navigation remains a major challenge—especially for those managing chronic conditions, specialist referrals, and complex treatment plans. Patients often leave retail health clinics without a clear plan for their care, leading to confusion, non-adherence, and missed follow-ups.
The solution? The Consumer Health Navigation & Self-Care Partner—a structured program that equips retail health providers and pharmacies with a scalable, consumer-focused engagement model that Strengthens the continuity of care capabilities, care coordination, and a more comprehensive patient-centered wellness plan.
The Problem: Gaps in Consumer Health Navigation & Engagement
Retail health clinics excel in providing convenient access to care, but they face critical engagement gaps that limit their long-term impact:
🚨 Consumers Leave Without Direction – Patients receive care but lack a structured system to track their conditions, manage follow-ups, or stay engaged with specialists.
🚨 Limited Care Coordination – Retail health often operates in silos, making it difficult for consumers to maintain continuity of care—leading to missed appointments, unmanaged conditions, and unnecessary complications.
🚨 Missed Opportunity to Lead in Consumer Engagement – As the healthcare landscape shifts toward proactive, consumer-driven care, retail clinics that fail to provide navigation tools and structured education risk falling behind competitors who do.
Without a strategic engagement solution, retail health remains transactional instead of transformational.
The Solution: Empowering Retail Health to Lead the Future of Consumer Engagement
Patient Better elevates retail health clinics beyond walk-in care—helping them create a structured engagement system that ensures:
✅ Consumers Stay on Track with Their Care – Patients leave with a clear roadmap for managing follow-ups, understanding their conditions, and tracking their health.
✅ Stronger Coordination Between Retail Clinics & Specialists – When consumers arrive prepared with their records, questions, and documented concerns, they strengthen relationships between clinics and healthcare networks—leading to more referrals, higher trust, and better outcomes.
✅ Retail Clinics Become the Go-To for Ongoing Consumer Care – By integrating health navigation and self-care education, retail clinics build long-term consumer trust, increase retention, and drive higher-value services.
Why Patient Better Works: The Science Behind It
Retail health clinics and pharmacies are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between primary, specialized care, as well as other ancillary and home care, especially in areas where access to specialists is limited. But without a structured health navigation system, patients fall through the cracks.
Engagement-driven healthcare is the future—but it only works when people have the tools to engage.
Studies show that when patients have structured health navigation support, they are:
🔹 3x more likely to follow through on specialist referrals.
🔹 50% less likely to miss follow-up appointments.
🔹 Significantly more confident in managing chronic conditions.
Retail health clinics that integrate Patient Better’s Consumer Health Navigation System ensure patients aren’t just treated—they’re truly supported.
Making Retail Health an Essential Care Partner – Instead of being a one-time visit, retail health providers become the go-to hub for patients who need ongoing support, coordination, and health education.
Think Consumers Won't Engage? Think Again.
The biggest myth in healthcare? That consumers don’t want to engage in their health.
🚨 They already do. They just don’t have a structured way to do it.
🔹 Millions of people are Googling their symptoms, treatments, and medications daily.
🔹 Patient portals exist—but most consumers don’t know how to use them effectively.
🔹 People track their steps, sleep, and heart rate—yet struggle to manage their actual medical records.
🔹 Pharmacies are flooded with consumers asking about medications, yet they don’t know what questions to ask their doctors.
Retail health clinics sit at the frontline of consumer engagement—and the ones that provide navigation tools, structured education, and seamless coordination will become the leaders in the new era of healthcare.
With Patient Better, retail health clinics don’t just offer convenience—they offer clarity, direction, and confidence.
And that’s exactly what consumers are looking for.
