The advent of organizations considering an on-site approach to the delivery of healthcare
services increases in direct proportion to the rising of healthcare costs. This volume
is a how-to manual on the design and implementation of an on-site program and presents
the challenges and benefits of such a system. Topics discussed include hospital and
specialty contracting; employee choice concerns; cost-control; ancillary services such
as pharmacy, lab testing, physical therapy, and imaging; workers compensation issues;
benefits consultants; quality vs. value analysis; and other considerations.
