More employers are turning to onsite and nearsite health centers to connect their employees to convenient, quality healthcare, according to the 2018 Worksite Medical Clinic survey<\/a>, released by human resources consultant Mercer earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n

As we reported on our news page<\/a>, the survey report found:<\/p>\n\n\n

 \u2022 One-third of all organizations with 5,000 or more employees provided direct healthcare access at or near the worksite this year \u2013 up from 17 percent in 2007.
 \u2022 Of survey respondents with general health centers, 67 percent allowed members to select the center as their primary care provider, compared to just 49 percent in 2015.
 \u2022 Among respondents who have invested time and resources to measure ROI, more than 50 percent reported a return of 1.5 or higher \u2013 meaning for every dollar invested, they saved a dollar and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n

At Premise Health, we believe the fact that employers are exploring new ways toenhance healthcare for their employees is a good thing. Read on for insightfrom Jami Doucette, president of Premise Health, on the drivers behind thistrend and why employers are in a powerful position to push for change.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4403,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-insights"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nEmployers Take Action On High Healthcare Costs - Premise Health<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"One-third of all organizations with 5,000 or more employees provided direct healthcare access at or near the worksite this year \u2013 up 17 percent from 2007.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/resources\/blog\/frustrated-with-high-healthcare-costs-employers-are-taking-action-heres-how\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Employers Take Action On High Healthcare Costs - Premise Health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"One-third of all organizations with 5,000 or more employees provided direct healthcare access at or near the worksite this year \u2013 up 17 percent from 2007.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/resources\/blog\/frustrated-with-high-healthcare-costs-employers-are-taking-action-heres-how\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Premise Health\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-10-26T16:16:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-02T21:00:57+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/frustrated-employers-photo.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"628\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Luke Myszka\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Luke Myszka\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/resources\/blog\/frustrated-with-high-healthcare-costs-employers-are-taking-action-heres-how\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/resources\/blog\/frustrated-with-high-healthcare-costs-employers-are-taking-action-heres-how\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Luke Myszka\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.premisehealth.com\/#\/schema\/person\/9b4bd0548e71013aaa2ae28b5fcb1023\"},\"headline\":\"Frustrated With High Healthcare Costs, Employers Are Taking Action.
