Immediate MedCare (IMC) is a leading urgent care clinic company, with ambitious plans to reach the 100 clinic mark. In this podcast interview, IMC CEO Jordan Rice and I discuss:
- Challenges in primary care and the emergency department that led Jordan to launch IMC and that continue to drive the company's expansion
- The IMC concept of having paperless practices with upscale amenities
- The company's staffing and employee motivation model
- The role of IMC and other urgent care clinics in the evolving ecosystem, including the fit with Accountable Care Organizations
At about the 5 minute mark you can also pick up an interesting tidbit about the role of IMC in the launch of WebMD.
