NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospitals and outpatient centers are medical facilities that provide diagnostic and medical treatment to patients with a wide range of medical conditions. Outpatient care centers offer medical care or treatment that does not require any overnight stay in a hospital or medical facility.
The Americas was the largest region in the hospitals and outpatient care centers market in 2016, accounting for around 45% market share. This was mainly due to high treatments costs and the presence of a large population with lifestyle related diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Europe was the second largest region accounting for around 26% market share. Asia was the third largest region accounting for around 22% market share. The Middle East & Africa was the fourth largest region accounting for around 5% market share. Oceania was the fifth largest region accounting for around 2% market share.?
Shared Medical Appointments - The shared medical appointments (SMA) model is a model generally defined as multiple patients being seen as a group by a multi-disciplinary medical care team for follow-up or routine care. It is being adopted by hospitals to create awareness and counsel individual patients dealing with similar medical conditions. The SMA supplements the traditional physician-patient appointment. SMAs provide individual evaluation and disease management for each patient at the same time that they provide counseling to the patient within a group setting. SMAs are currently used to address diabetes, asthma, ulcerative colitis, MS, cancer, HIV, menopause, insomnia and stress.
