Duke Outpatient Clinic

The predecessor of the Duke Outpatient Clinic (DOC) was established shortly after Duke University Hospital (DUH) opened in 1930, as a medicine outpatient clinic to serve the public, regardless of ability to pay. Today the DOC has continued that safety-net tradition since moving to its current location in north Durham in 1997. Conducting 20,000 visits for 5,000 adult internal medicine patients each year, the patient population is majority-minority (nearly two-thirds African American), female, lower-income, including more than half covered by Medicare or Medicaid and 10% uninsured.

An interdisciplinary team-based and patient-centered approach to care is emphasized, supported by several resources in the clinic, including: two clinical social workers, a clinical pharmacist, two ambulatory case managers, two advanced practice providers, a chaplain, financial care counselors, along with many other committed staff. A range of specialty care is also available on-site, including Endocrinology, Cardiology, Dermatology, Physical Therapy and Smoking Cessation.  

Residents develop their own primary care patient panels and share clinical messages within practice partnerships based on  availability. The faculty of the Division of General Internal Medicine, the Ambulatory Chief Resident and other Medicine faculty staff the clinic and precept residents.

The DOC is also continually trying to innovate. The diverse patients at the DOC are generally medically complex with a high rate of psychiatric and social drivers, which prompted the development of the HomeBASE Plus program, launched in 2013, providing intensive team-based case management for our highest utilizing patients. More recently, beginning in 2019, a weekly Big Pool complex care team meeting has allowed any patient to be discussed with high needs. These approaches have been effective at shifting care from the ED and hospital back to the clinic. The DOC is also collaborating with the Duke Population Health Management Office (PHMO) on shared care for high-needs patients.
