Keys to the Strategic Approach for Development of a Hospital System Employee Health Center: Build vs. Buy?

This presentation will provide an in-depth look at the strategic approach to development of an employee "center for health" within the hospital system. Key issues will be discussed regarding use of “in-house” resources compared to contracting with an outside external vendor. The advantages, disadvantages, and financial impact of the two different models will be explored and shared in detail. Attendees will gain a tactical blue print to effectively quantify and determine which model is best for their organization.

Utilize an Onsite Health Clinic to Reduce Healthcare Costs, Improve Population Health and Cultivate a Culture of Health and Wellbeing

In 2008, Providence Health & Services Alaska began the planning and implementation of a reengineering of their Employee Health & Wellness programs and services. More than two years later, the onsite Employee Health & Wellness Center is now a valuable resource to employees within the system, and provides a holistic and integrated approach to employee health and wellbeing. Those in attendance can plan to experience discussion surrounding:

  • Successful integration of components of health management services (FMLA/ Absence/ Disability Management, Occupational Health, Workers' Compensation, wellness programs, and primary/ acute care) into one onsite health center, emulating a patient-centered medical home model
  • Resulting two years worth of data after the initial health management reengineering, including improved employee biometrics, lowered per member per year healthcare costs and aggregate health center data related to chronic care management

In-Depth ROI Analysis Session

Demonstrating the Value of Onsite Clinics and Demonstrating a Financial and Social-Based ROI

Erickson’s on-site clinics were established so that employees, regardless of hours worked or health insurance status, have access to convenient, low cost and high quality personal and work-related health and wellness services, but they are also a strategic tool to help reduce rising costs to its self-insured health plan and workers’ compensation fund. The presenter will:

  • Describe the business case for this program
  • Summarize the latest research results that demonstrate the most cost-effective integrated work-related and personal health services which also cover nationally defined health care gap
  • Erickson’s own cost avoidance analysis of preventable conditions
  • The innovative marketing/communication tools developed to attract employees to utilize them
  • Describe defined metrics, including unique user utilization, reduced absenteeism, clinical and financial return on investment (ROI)
  • Evaluate lessons learned
