Workshop Session A:
Thursday, July 18, 2013 • 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Assessing the Applicability of an On-Site Health Clinic for your Company and Determining the Competitive Advantage

Overall demand for on-site clinics is growing at a steady pace. Driving forces are still access to primary care, cost management, health improvement and absence management. More and more middle market employers interested in implementing and smaller locations are more popular. Ideally the clinics lend themselves to health coaching, disease prevention and behavioral change.

The company profile of those interested is changing. The “old rules” were 2,000 employees in a location, with an older workforce with considerable health issues, expenses per employee in excess of $8000, shortage of PCP’s or access problems. The “new rules” are any company interested in expanding health management services with employee concentration as low as 800 per location. Some topics to be examined include:
• Macro trends in on-site health
•The “perfect” on-site health prospect is changing
• Why consider on-site services

Workshop Session B:
Friday, July 19, 2013 • 12:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.

Utilizing On-Site Employee Health Clinics to Enhance Innovative Care Initiatives

Employers are considering many initiatives to improve care and reduce medical cost. High performance physician networks are on the list, as are primary care medical homes and accountable care organizations. Some employers are re-evaluating their disease and case management programs. Some are wondering about the use of their existing on-site clinics as they transition to high deductible health plans with health savings accounts. Employers considering onsite clinics, and those with established clinics, have questions about the use of performance guarantees to improve their return on investment.

The first half of this workshop will address the use of onsite health to enhance other initiatives. The second half will be reserved for questions about any of these issues, and general questions about establishing and managing a worksite health center.
