Executive Summary

One of the top complaints of individuals seeking non-critical emergency services is wait time. For emergency room visits, a patient may spend 2-3 hours in an emergency waiting room for non-critical treatment such as fever, cough, sprains, etc. Quick2treat is an online concept developed to allow consumers access to WeeCare’s current office wait times and allows the patient to schedule an appointment, or hold their place in line for urgent care treatment. Once the patient has confirmed the appointment time, the patient is guaranteed to be seen within 15 minutes upon arrival. Internet registration for non-life threatening emergency department services that allows patient and family to avoid dreaded time in a waiting room. The concept of Quick2treat follows current technology for real-time online status reporting used by the airport industry, amusement parks “fast pass” system and online reservation services in restaurants.
The market indicates that there is a significant need for quality “urgent” care other then emergency services provided by area hospital’s emergency rooms. Currently, the clinic employs competent, well-educated physicians and support staff to respond to the current needs of patients, however, there is room for growth. WeeCare has developed an excellent reputation with many of patients, through the work of our staff over the past three years, through successful marketing tools and personal interactions in the community, yet Quick2treat will aspire to attract new patients and retain existing patients.
