Prevention Through TotalCare
Clinical Monitoring and Preventive Services
An integral part of TotalCare’s Health Improvement Program is prevention. Our clinical staff provides assistance in monitoring participants’ responses to lifestyle interventions, and supports the delivery of evidenced-based medical treatment and prevention guidelines. Our providers can coordinate with outside physicians as needed, and urgent medical issues can be referred in a timely manner to improve outcomes. The presence of onsite clinical staff and the availability of health and lifestyle specialists enhance the quality and efficiency of health care services.
Onsite clinical staff helps facilitate the identification and referral of behavioral health issues that may be affecting health and performance of the individual. Examples of episodic preventive services that may be provided by health care staff include seasonal influenza immunizations and cancer screening tests.
By leveraging onsite clinical staff with local center and company-wide clinical resources, Concentra maximizes the cost effectiveness of its risk factor treatment and prevention programs. Collaboration among the participant, clinical providers and health intervention team results in:
- a significant reduction in health care costs, absenteeism, and perceived barriers to access, and
- a significant increase in the productivity of the workforce
