Experience drives better results

Occupational health isn’t new to us. Preventive care and employee health and safety have been part of our mission of total health for nearly 70 years. From our start as a health plan for workers during World War II, we’ve supported occupational health programs and services — giving you and your employees the peace of mind that comes from teaming with a health care partner who’s invested in your business.

Our occupational health centers are staffed by a skilled multidisciplinary team of caregivers who work within our integrated health plan:

• Supervising physicians are either board-certified or board-eligible in occupational medicine or a related specialty.

• Occupational medicine physicians, nurses, care coordinators, and physical therapists specialize in the unique challenges of work-related injuries.

• A case manager or coordinator works on-site at every center to support you, your employees, and any medical or insurance providers.

4 Occupational Health Services

A better approach to occupational health

• Cost savings — Employers experience significantly lower costs with Kaiser Permanente On-the-Job.3

• Services available to all employees — Your entire workforce, not just the Kaiser Permanente members, can access our occupational health services.

• Multiple locations — We have occupational health clinics in California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington state.

• One-stop convenience — Nearly all of our centers are located in or near Kaiser Permanente facilities, offering convenient access to specialists, pharmacy, X-ray, physical therapy, and more under one roof.

• Fully connected care — Caregivers have real-time access to the same electronic medical record,4 allowing them to see your employees’ health history and make quick, well-informed decisions that improve outcomes.

Comprehensive support at every step

When our occupational health teams examine and treat your employees, they also prepare and send all of the appropriate paperwork to you and your workers’ compensation claims administrator. Throughout treatment, you’ll receive timely, accurate reports on work status. And we’ll work closely with you to help your employees return to work safely.

The high cost of poor health

Chronic conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure account for 90% of the nation’s health care costs.5 Unhealthy lifestyles, such as lack of exercise and poor eating habits, can increase the risk of many of these conditions. In the workplace, chronic conditions can lead to lower employee engagement, more sick days, and increased workers’ compensation costs.

Additional annual costs per employee include:

Better outcomes through coordinated careWith Kaiser Permanente On-the-Job as part of your health care strategy, you benefit from our coordinated approach to care. Your employees get care from care teams connected to the same electronic health record — not disconnected third-party providers. And because we’re fully integrated, our doctors, hospitals, and health plan can easily share information to help ensure your employees get the care they need.

A truly integrated care model

More services under one roof

Many of our occupational health centers are located at our medical facilities. Your employees can save time and money by getting more care in fewer trips — for example, physical therapy, lab tests, and prescriptions.

A complete picture of employee health

With our industry-leading electronic health record system, our caregivers can see and update your employees’ entire health history, including allergies, past treatment decisions, most lab results, and more. With access to the full picture, it’s easier to:

• Make better, more informed decisions

• Avoid duplicate prescriptions and possible drug complications

• Prevent gaps in care and protect long- term health
