Publisher Description: The concept of an employer attempting to manage healthcare cost and quality is not new. There are numerous national and individual statistics that relate the cost and purchasing challenges in the provision of healthcare as a benefit and a competitive barrier for American enterprises. Workplace Clinics and Employer Managed Healthcare: A Catalyst for Cost Savings and Improved Productivity, 2nd Edition is not another diatribe on the national healthcare problem. Instead, it is a book about what is possible. Mike LaPenna shares with readers the actual experiences of those self-funded employers who are moving healthcare access on-site and directly managing all aspects of their own healthcare delivery system. In this revised and updated edition, the author examines both the big issues and the nuts and bolts concerns that companies and their employees face; demonstrates the importance of employee participation in the planning; and covers when and how to work with hospitals, pharmacies and other vendors. Much is made about turning healthcare delivery into a system that incentivizes wellness rather than profits from illness. This is the one path that assures such an outcome. This second edition includes updated case studies and revised material of chapters. |
