Description

Employers that purchase healthcare for their workforce are not only looking to have better control over costs and value but are also recognizing the need for a more robust primary care system. This has led to the resurgence of an old model--the company doctor. This time, the approach has been retooled. An employer still employs a physician to provide healthcare at the work-site, but its focus has expanded: The physician is now responsible for managing the entire care process for employees and their dependents. This is the company doctor--on steroids. Workplace medical clinics adopt the principles of the traditional "medical home," an idea that first surfaced in 1967 (1) and puts the patient at the center of the healthcare delivery process. Under the medical home model, the patient receives continuous and comprehensive healthcare from one physician who serves not only as a direct care provider but also as a coordinator of the entire care process.
