Physicians Immediate Care Achieves UCA Accreditation
We're proud to see our clinics recieving recogniztion for the work they do! Congrats to Physicians Immediate Care.
Physicians Immediate Care has achieved the Urgent Care Association of America (UCA) Accredited Urgent Care designation, the highest level of distinction for urgent care centers. UCAOA Accreditation is the first of its kind to recognize not only the traditional accreditation process of quality and safety but also to specifically embrace the unique scope of services provided by urgent care centers, such as Physicians Immediate Care.
Many urgent cares are certified, but few receive Accreditation status from UCA, reflecting months of due diligence across eight key areas of performance. Of the approximately 9,000 urgent care centers in the US, only a small percentage achieve accreditation. In fact, in our current states of Illinois and Indiana, there are only six other urgent care centers that have qualified for this honor.
Excellence in 8 Areas
The UCA Accreditation means that Physicians Immediate Care demonstrates that it has met nationally standardized criteria to provide high-level care and achieved excellence in the following areas:
Governance
Human Resources
Patient Care Processes
Physical Environment
Quality Improvement
Health Record Management
Patient Privacy/Rights/ Responsibilities
Scope of Care
