Onsite health centers, enhanced by HybridHealth

CHS specializes in staffing, managing and operating onsite health centers with an expanded approach: HybridHealth—a spectrum of onsite health care services for client employees, retirees and their dependents, including onsite primary care, occupational health and pharmacy services to address acute and chronic health conditions.

Onsite HybridHealth services include:

	MEDICAL RESEARCH & INNOVATION: CHS is committed to create value for large employers who embrace onsite health care. We are sponsoring ground-breaking medical research with Georgia Tech and Emory University that will shed light on new methods for employee population predictive modeling. The resulting workforce health assessment model will enable CHS and its clients to design onsite care programs based on the prevalence of certain health conditions and employ more cost-effective strategies for risk prevention and reduction as a way of further controlling health care costs.

HybridHealth programs leverage an employer’s investment in health improvement and disease management programs—bringing them to a new level. CHS onsite centers are patient-centered. They provide easier access to health care, shorter wait times and more time with the provider. Their quality and convenience encourage higher participation in preventive health and wellness programs, wiser health care decisions and lower costs, both for the employer and the employee.

The result is reduced medical costs, recordable injury rates, lost time, and the use of outside health care providers.

CHS’ onsite health centers are driven by a commitment to technological innovation focused on improving the customer experience aspect of health care. Our systems and are focused on delivering a high-quality experience for the patient, the provider and the employer.

APPROACH: CHS starts with an analytical framework to customize an onsite program to fit each location, precisely matching needs with personnel. The onsite health centers we staff can be as simple as an equipped medical exam room and office staffed by an occupational health nurse, or as comprehensive as full-service clinics. In addition to highly credentialed staff, each unit is backed by the full occupational health resources of CHS itself, with access to in-house expertise, support structures and a knowledge base built through decades of experience providing onsite health units to the largest companies and federal agencies in the nation.

BUSINESS/MEDICAL MODEL: CHS onsite health centers emphasize workforce issues as well as individual patient issues. In addition to responding to injuries or illnesses, CHS profiles your employee population to identify and address risk factors of greatest concern to your workforce. By integrating our range of solutions into your strategic health care initiative, the onsite health center supports your goals for wellness, cost savings and a competitive edge.

INTERACTION WITH EMPLOYEES:Through ongoing screening programs, onsite health centers can help detect health issues in the earliest and most treatable stages. Easier access to health care providers and prevention/wellness programs encourages participation, reduces lost work hours, accelerates return to work and improves productivity. Because onsite providers see fewer patients each day, they can devote more time to each patient. This lessens the need for specialist referrals and also lowers costs. CHS health center personnel follow up on all employees who are sent home, to an emergency room, or to an outside facility, and act as liaisons between employees and their treating physicians.
