What is the advantage of hiring a firm to manage an on-site clinic versus doing this in-house?
The complexity of managing an on-site clinic along with a total health management program is more than many employers are prepared to take on. The benefits of hiring a specialized and dedicated firm to manage this include added expertise and lowered risks. By outsourcing the management of the health care services, employers also largely avoid the issue of dealing with HIPAA related privacy & security of health information. OurHealth recommends working closely with the employers’ human resources manager and wellness coordinator to design the details of the clinic, health management offerings, and any incentive programs.
