Editor's Notes

  • #2 John Welcome Bathrooms Cell phones/pagers Introductions all around (list on board if available) Name and title Name of health system/state Why attending today Introduce presenters
  • #3 Ken and Bruce: This is a 3-hour presentation, with 2 15-minute breaks on the hour. Keep in mind that you are to provide information for all types of alternative care models, i.e., retail clinics, retail urgent care, and retail primary care. This workshop is directed at health systems, therefore, the only slide you need to focus on independent retail is “Strategic Assessment of the Market: Competitive Environment”, slide 5. Minimize the mention of “this is what FastCare does” or “this is how Walmart contracts” etc. Keep it as generic as possible. You may use business names in your examples, but keep them as positive as possible. Each slide contains a health system perspective and a retail host perspective. Both of you will present your perspective by slide. You may want to switch who goes first, slide by slide. Most importantly, play positively off of – and reference – each other. Text in red on the notes pages is for instructional purposes only. Delete the red text and replace with your own notes. John Breaks Activity (optional) Objectives

  • #28 Ken May want to position a few questions here for me to ask if we have not questions. Bruce Questions How does consumer traffic in Walmart compare to other retail hosts? What scope of services does Walmart allow inside its stores? Does Walmart require use of a specific Electronic Health Record? What other types of health services does Walmart plan to make available in its stores?
