Boosting Occupational Health ROI: A Case Study on Implementing an On-site Clinic

 On-site clinics and mobile occ health services have been shown to reduce Workers’ Comp spending by as much as 70% and reduce lost time by 60%. 

Problem

Companies need effective solutions to improve the health and wellness of their client’s workforce. Specifically, companies in all industries need to manage exposures, monitor individuals’ health and wellness, reduce lost time, case duration, and absenteeism, reduce modified or restricted duty and reduce overall workers’ comp costs while increasing productivity and improving employee health and satisfaction, and morale. 

Example

Client A wants to increase the ROI% of their occupational health programs. They determine that an on-site clinic can provide them with a better ROI by reducing Workers’ Comp spend and lost time impact on production.  

Solution

They set up an on-site clinic in their manufacturing plant and contract for mobile occupational health services at their satellite facilities. The clinic and mobile occ health units implement the following: 

  • Services to manage exposures, monitor individuals’ health and wellness, reduce lost time, case duration, and absenteeism, reduce modified or restricted duty, and reduce overall workers’ comp costs. 
  • Programs to increase productivity and improve employee health, satisfaction, and morale. 
  • High-quality health and wellness services to clients and their workforce. 
  • Medical programs educate employees on healthy practices and behaviors to prevent workplace injuries. 
  • Clinic personnel act as first responders in the event of an accident. 
  • Clinic personnel can provide additional no-cost interventions such as ergonomic assessments and recommendations, wellness training, lunch and learn programs, targeted microbreaks/stretching programs, and similar benefits while onsite. 

Summary and Conclusion

Using critical metrics and measures to evaluate the success of the actions taken, such a program has been shown to reduce OSHA recordable cases by as much as 68%, reduce Work Comp claims by as much as 42%, reduce the number of restricted duty and lost time injuries, and reduce Work Comp cost spend by as much as 70%.
