With more than 60 Onsite Clinics operating in more than 28 states, Onsite Clinics are benefiting employees by significantly reducing their out-of-pocket medical expenses, transportation costs, and out-of-work time. And these clinics deliver quality-driven health care to tens of thousands of employees while maintaining an historically positive return-on-investment for the employers.

Q: WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
A: Onsite Clinics are health clinics embedded within large-employer facilities. A clinician delivers diagnoses, treatments and guidance.

Q: What’s the PROBLEM this solution addresses?

Q: Has this Solution been implemented at Johns Hopkins? 
A: Yes. For more than a decade, just such a clinic as this has served the employees of Johns Hopkins through the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. In FY2012 alone, 4,300 employees visited this clinic, with 28% presenting with ear, nose and throat problems. And 74% of these employees seen in the clinic were immediately referred back to work with no restrictions.

Q: What has been the success of this Solution? 
A: It delivers to employers $1.60 of health care savings for every $1 spent on employee health care.

Q: What’s the optimal workforce size for incorporating such a clinic? A: Employers with 600 to 1200 employees per site.

Q: Are any regions excluded? 
A: No. This program is available nationwide.

Q: Does this replace/avoid the need for primary physicians? 
A: No. In fact, the onsite nurse practitioner provides acute, episodic care for personal injuries and illnesses, as well as counseling and education about health matters. The nurse practitioner will refer the employee to her or his primary care physician if the nurse practitioner determines that this is required.
