Retail clinics in New York: The Road Ahead?

This Benita Zahn, News 13, Albany, NY, 2/17/11:

Sprang from this:

EASY ACCESS, QUALITY CARE: The Role for Retail Health Clinics in New York (Paul Howard PhD, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2/2011).

Congratulations to Paul for producing a thoroughly examined analysis and recommendations for pragmatic policy development regarding retail clinics in New York State. Also for generating such a rapt turnout for his presentation on a frigid morning in the State’s Capital.

Retail clinics are scarce in New York State, for what amateur summarizers of public policy (like ourselves) refer to as “a complex of factors”. Dr. Howard’s report sorts those factors out, and suggests ways in which New York State’s policymakers might most effectively address them.

What’s that you ask? What was our role in the report’s production? Well, now that you bring it up, we did supply Paul with data on clinics penetration, which he used judiciously. Deftly, even.
