Illustration of the urgent care center, where patients arrive without any planned appointment. In the first step, a triage nurse runs a symptom assessment, and then patients are directed to the doctor. Depending on their situation, they may be examined/treated by another nurse and then discharged, sent back to a doctor, or discharged immediately by administrative staff.
