CareCorps®
 

Employers are beginning to realize that the underlying cost of health care is rooted in an unhealthy workforce.

The addition of a custom on-site CareCorps® medical clinic helps employers to stabilize escalating health care costs and improve the health of their employees.


CareCorps® Custom On-Site Clinics

[corps (kôr), a body of persons acting together or associated under common direction.]

Delivering the gold standard in employer-based custom on-site health care.

It’s our clinic, staff, practice, protocols, policies and procedures, but on your site with your employees, so it's your win. Services are provided by licensed, insured and highly experienced medical professionals who are hand picked and screened to meet the needs and culture of each employer group.

CareCorps® uses nationally recognized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for treatment and electronic health record technology (EHR) to measure care, track procedures, and develop baseline data and risk profiles. The EHR ensures continuity of care and gives an effective means to communicate with employees’ pharmacies and other health care providers.

We Are Here for You

The CareCorps® custom on-site clinic provides:

  • A solution to control ongoing cost increases in employer health care benefits.
  • The means to effect tighter management of self-funded employers’ health plans.
  • A resource for additional tools to manage health cost.
  • Professionally trained and proven resources to benefit and improve employee health.
  • Innovative solutions to reduce employer costs.
  • Early intervention, diagnosis and improved clinical outcomes to produce healthier, better-educated consumers.

Why On-site Care and Why Now?

Not only will effective clinical management result in a happier, healthier, more productive workforce, the impact of quality care in improved access to care and better treatment outcomes will result in significant health care savings.

Why Should We Use CareCorps®?  Why Not Do It Ourselves?

We strongly recommend that employers NOT directly hire a medical professional to come into the workplace, either as an employee or a contract provider.  That would dilute the firewall for confidentiality and increase the employer's exposure to liability.

Third-party oversight is critically important for quality of care, access to care, continuity of care, reporting, compliance and credential verification.  The success of the clinic operations hinges on correct policy and procedures, established treatment protocols and continued clinical oversight.

To do what Clinical Resources Group does, an employer would need in-house medical management expertise in recruitment, evaluation and oversight of medical professionals, as well as the ability to evaluate the qualifications and ongoing performance of medical professionals from a clinical perspective.

Clinical Resources Group has the experience, knowledge, tools and resources to meet clinic-specific concerns such as:

  • Need for liability firewall  
  • Confidentiality
  • Reporting, benchmarking & targeted treatments
  • Risk profiling & health risk assessments
  • Scope of practice guidelines
  • Quality of care   
  • HIPAA regulations and compliance
  • ERISA and COBRA compliance
  • Recruitment expertise   
  • Insurance, including medical malpractice, professional liability and workers' compensation
  • Oversight of medical professionals
  • Electronic health records systems
  • Credentialing   
  • CMS regulations
  • Treatment protocols   
  • Relationships in medical education
  • Advancement in treatment technology & practice management
  • Established health programming and education
  • OSHA compliance
  • Ongoing training and education of medical professionals
  • Performance measures of clinical practitioners
  • Direct clinic performance measures
