Concentra® (NSYE: CON), the nation’s leader in occupational medicine, has expanded its Onsite Health division’s suite of services to include advanced primary care. This offering will serve as a solution for employers seeking ways to lower health care costs and improve medical outcomes while streamlining participants’ health care access. With this expansion, Concentra Onsite Health will enter a new era of employer-sponsored health and wellness services.
“Concentra’s approach to advanced primary care supports employers in their efforts to establish and sustain a culture of health and wellness among their employee population,” said Mike Rhine, Concentra executive vice president and chief operating officer - onsite health and telemedicine.
By adding advanced primary care to Concentra’s onsite health services, the company aims to provide employers with greater access to well-coordinated, “whole person care” delivered by a multidisciplinary care team. In addition, Concentra believes this service offering will enable onsite clinical teams to ramp up their efforts to help companies foster workplace health cultures built on proactive employee engagement and improved health outcomes.
“We have been providing aspects of advanced primary care in both our occupational health centers and our onsite clinics for years,” said Rhine. “Now, we are leveraging our years of experience providing care coordination to offer our clients an advanced option. With the assistance of our newly implemented electronic health record, our care team will be less constrained by administrative tasks and freer to spend time developing impactful relationships with patients. We are poised to make a significant impact in the industry and the lives of patients through this service.”
Essential to the expansion of Concentra’s onsite health services is a significant investment in the electronic health record (EHR) Epic, a leading technology platform with built-in population health reporting. For the advanced primary care onsite model, the utilization of Epic will enhance the great care for which Concentra Onsite Health is known.
“Epic is the health care industry’s leading electronic health record and provides crucial value-based reporting measurements to demonstrate program success,” said Latha Brubaker, MD senior vice president of medical operations, Concentra Onsite Health. “The capabilities of Epic combined with our structured approach and high standard of care demonstrate Concentra’s vibrant and forward-looking commitment to meeting the evolving needs of employers. We are confident Concentra will become a leader in the provision of this service.”
