What is a "facility-based" service, and what is a "field-based" service?

To put it as simply as possible, a facility based service
means the client comes to your office (or facility) and a field based service means the
professional goes to the client (or out in the field). One example of this in the health
care industry might be physical therapy. A facility based physical therapy company would
have an office or medical facility where the patient would attend therapy sessions. A
field based physical therapy company would come to a patients home to conduct the
physical therapy session. Below is a link to an example in the information technologies
field. In these links, field based service is referred to as non-facility
service.
