A new trend is arising in healthcare. In some areas of the country, particularly on the east and west coasts, physicians are making doing home visits their business. This is benefiting the frail elderly, parents with young children that are sick, etc. This is an option rather than going to the clinic or ER for a visit. Many people are too sick to go to the clinic, but not sick enough for a ER visit. I think that this is a very good thing. I think it is important for physicians to see clients in their own environment. They can get a better, and broader picture of everything that is going on in the patients life. It is interesting that what physicians did many years ago is now coming around full circle.
