Annotation: The advent of organizations considering an on-site approach to the delivery of healthcare services increases in direct proportion to the rising of healthcare costs. This volume is a how-to manual on the design and implementation of an on-site program and presents the challenges and benefits of such a system. Topics discussed include hospital and specialty contracting; employee choice concerns; cost-control; ancillary services such as pharmacy, lab testing, physical therapy, and imaging; workers compensation issues; benefits consultants; quality vs. value analysis; and other considerations. A case study is provided which follows the implementation of a program from inception to introduction.

Publisher Description:

Workplace Clinics and Employer Managed Healthcare: A Catalyst for Cost Savings and Improved Productivity 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. With the candor he is known for, LaPenna:

  • 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
  • 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. There are no manuals to help your company achieve this goal, only the lessons to be learned from those who have walked the path. This book shares those lessons with you.
