Celebrating Year 1996
In 1996, GHC-SCW launched Open Access scheduling, allowing members to be seen the same day they requested care. At a time when traditional appointment systems often led to long waits, this approach reduced wait times and improved patient convenience.
Open Access later evolved into an innovative appointment-based urgent care model, allowing patients to schedule urgent visits rather than waiting in a crowded lobby when they were not feeling well. That evolution reflected GHC-SCW’s continued focus on making care more responsive and patient-centered.
Why it matters: Timely access reduces stress and improves outcomes. The commitment to reducing wait times in 1996 continues to shape how GHC-SCW designs its scheduling systems today.
