Worksite clinics are gaining in popularity. Where once they were found in only fortune 500 companies, other businesses have caught on to the benefits of adding a clinic on-site for their employees.
Worksite clinics are saving employers money.
Employers have found that on-site clinics have actually saved their companies money, giving them a full return on their investments. When employees receive care at the worksite clinic, the cost is less than visiting other local physicians.
And it just keeps getting better.
As worksite clinics prove to be better and better investments for businesses, the clinics themselves are adapting and changing to meet more needs. The next generation of clinics includes concepts to save employers even more on their employee healthcare costs.
A recent National Association of Worksite Health Centers article described eight of the upcoming concepts for clinics. They include:
- At-Risk Model
- Gaps in Care Analysis
- Patient-Centered Medical Home
- Clinical Engineering
- Price Transparency and Patient Advocacy
- Predictive Modelling
- Telemedicine
- Wellness
