Patient-Centered Delivery Model Changing Healthcare

HSA PrimeCare and USAA Real Estate recently acquired this 45,000 SF clinic in Plymouth, MN, which gives clients quick access to an ice-skating area, Lifetime Fitness, a movie theater, and other shops, restaurants and public services.

CHICAGO—As reported earlier this week in GlobeSt.com, the number of Americans age 65 and older increased from 35 million in 2000 to 49.2 million in 2016, and this aging process, along with the growth in expensive, high-tech treatment options, has caused several shifts in the healthcare real estate market. And these new factors will continue dominating the sector in 2018.

“There are overriding pressures to reduce costs,” John Wilson, president of HSA PrimeCare, the national health care real estate division of Chicago-based HSA Commercial Real Estate, tells GlobeSt.com. As a result, providers across the nation have largely shifted to a more patient-centered delivery model, with smaller, cost-efficient medical clinics doing much of the work once handled by big hospitals.
