8 7 What we know 7 Chronic conditions alone cost the US economy more than $1 trillion per year Administrative costs Excessive spending Wasteful spending Inappropriate consumption/utilization

9 The unsustainable cost Annual Family Health Insurance Premiums Compared to Annual Household Income (Actual , Projected ) $90,000 $80,000 $70,000 $60,000 $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 $20,000 $10,000 $ Family premium Household income Source: DeVoe JE, Dodoo MS, Phillips RL Jr., and Green LA Who will have health insurance in the year 2025?

11 Bottom line Employee health and well-being are strong determinants of productivity, morale, and retention There is a clear impact on business performance and share price as well as on the bottom line 1. The health of an organization s population is inextricably linked to its long-term viability. Investing in employee health and well-being aligns with better business. 1 Fabius, Raymond, et. Al., The Link Between Workforce Health and Safety and the Health of the Bottom Line: Tracking Market Performance of Companies That Nurture a Culture of Health. JOEM. Volume 55, Number 9, September

12 Emerging trend Onsite clinics as a solution in the public sector

13 12 Factors driving the resurgence of onsite 1 Primary Care Shortage 3 Poor Clinical Compliance 5 Stressful Employee Workloads Shortage of 40K by 2020 Healthcare reform adds 32MM to system Medicaid to cover 16MM by Hurried, Distracted Providers 5-10 min. avg. appointment Focused on symptoms versus cause NEJM puts noncompliance rates at 50% 4 Increasing Employee Out of Pocket Cost Hesitancy to seek care due to affordability Employees less willing to leave work site and take time for care 6 System Inefficiencies Procedure duplications, preventable mistakes, unnecessary treatments and prescriptions, technological inefficiencies

14 13 Pressure close to home To maintain current rates of utilization, Florida will need an additional 4,671 primary care physicians by 2030, a 38% increase compared to the state s current (as of 2010) 12,228 PCP workforce.

15 14 Florida compared to the region and nation Implications: 4,671 additional PCPs required by 2030 (38% of the current workforce) Florida s current PCP ratio of 1,537:1 is greater than the national average of 1,463:1 Increased need for PCPs is reflective of: Increased utilization due to aging population Population growth Greater population of insured due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)

16 15 What it means for employees and employers THE END OF THE LINE STARTS HERE Access to service hindered Wait time increases Productivity is lost NO TRESSPASSING PCP Practices are full and not accepting new patients LEGIONS OF PREVIOUSLY UNINSURED ENTER AN ALREADY BLOATED HEALTHCARE SYSTEM EVERY DAY

17 Feasibility assessment Is an onsite clinic appropriate for your organization

18 17 Quick stats High-performance health program Onsite clinic growth anticipated to increase 15% to 20% year over year Evidence suggests that on-site health centers offer a ROI as high as $3 to $6 for every dollar spent Onsite pharmacies are reported to reduce medication costs by 10 to 60 percent Employees who use onsite health centers reportedly save 2 to 4 hours per visit compared to traveling off site Approximately 25% - 30% of large employers now provide onsite health services. Up 50% since 2000 Onsite clinics can deliver employee health care services 2 to 3 times more costeffectively than offsite

19 18 A new model for healthcare delivery Going beyond primary care Basic Primary Care Additional Offerings Onsite Pharmacy Health Promotion & Wellness Labs Immunizations Work Comp Integration Onsite Clinic Disease Management Nutritionist Physical Therapy Occupational Therapy Pre Employment Services Travel Medicine Telehealth Disability Integration EAP Claims Dictate Ancillary Services

20 19 Are you an appropriate candidate? Considerations Key Decision Points Prevalence by Industry Candidates Improve access Enrich quality of care Boost clinical compliance Enhance outcomes Redirect care to appropriate settings Reduce lost time/absence Moderate trend, lower spend Retention, recruitment, and morale Eligibility? Charge for service? What services? Clinic location? Buy, Build, Lease? Staffing needs? IT Infrastructure Risk management Regulatory and compliance Healthcare 60% Government 32% Manufacture 30% Retail 20% Transportation 18% Services 15% Financial 10% 500 < PCP Shortage Geographically disperse employees High ER utilization Low utilization of preventive care High unscheduled absences High retention, low turnover Higher avg. employee age

23 Manufacturer After nearly 10 years 22

24 Closing remarks

25 24 Growing Consensus The health of the workforce is inextricably linked to workforce productivity. Health & Productivity Continuing current health care strategies is not a sustainable option. Employers can manage the health-related productivity of the workforce. The impact of a healthier, more productive workforce is quantifiable. Evidence-based medicine needs to incorporate functional impacts on productivity, as well as, health.
