clinical settings
Where patients go
Clinical settings are places where healthcare is delivered—hospitals, doctors' offices, clinics, laboratories, and similar facilities where patients receive medical care or undergo testing.
The term distinguishes these professional environments from home care or community settings: The drug performed well in clinical settings but patients struggled with it at home.
Research conducted in clinical settings involves actual patients rather than laboratory subjects.
