This chapter focuses on urgent care centers as a unique innovation that has been in the making for the last 30 years. Urgent care centers provide unscheduled or walk-in care, are open for extended hours on weeknights and weekends, and provide services that go beyond what primary care physicians provide, such as occupational medicine, laboratory tests, and fracture care such as splinting and casting, with some providing intravenous fluids, routine immunizations, and primary care services. This chapter describes in-depth the history and growth, operations, and stakeholders of urgent care centers, and overviews the research that relates to quality of care, costs, and patient satisfaction in these centers. Given the expanding industry, strong growth in company numbers, greater employment opportunities, and rising per-capita usage of urgent care centers, the author argues that the urgent care industry is in the growth phase of its life cycle.

Quality Of Primary Care

The Hungarian primary care quality indicator system has been introduced in 2009, and has been continuously developed since then. The system offers extra financing for family physicians who are achieving the expected levels of indicators. There are currently 16 indicators for adult and mixed practices and 8 indicators are used in paediatric care. Authors analysed the influencing factors of the indicators other than those related to the performance of family physicians. Expectations and compliance of patients, quality of outpatient (ambulatory) care services, insufficient flow of information, inadequate primary care softwares which need to be updated could be considered as the most important factors. The level of financial motivations should also be significantly increased besides changes in the reporting system. It is recommended, that decision makers in health policy and financing have to declare clearly their expectations, and professional bodies should find the proper solution. These indicators could contribute properly to the improvement of the quality of primary care services in Hungary. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(9), 328–335.

Interpretative Phenomenological Approach


The study intended to understand the perception of nurses of Primary Care Services about the construction of ethical competence on their formation and practices. This is a qualitative study, with an interpretative phenomenological approach and interviews with ten nurses of the community health services of Porto Alegre, RS. The results showed that the interviewed professionals had already experienced situations with ethical conflicts and knew what ethical competence means. The central themes point out three fundamental issues in the construction of the ethical competence: personal values, education and practice. Taking into account that ethical competence is in permanent construction, the study shows the importance to promote organizational and educational activities in a transversal manner, as a tool to cope the moral stress and contribute in improving the quality of care in the primary health attention.
