Abstract
Work-site wellness programs are hardly new to most US healthcare markets. Emerging out of the 1980s fitness craze, traditional wellness programs usually consisted of classes that encouraged healthy lifestyle practices among company employees. Since the prevalent fee-for-service environment didn't provide an inherent incentive for keeping people well, hospital-operated work-site wellness programs rarely advanced past this basic level of service. Corporations, payers, and hospitals see the economic value of managing health, therefore, these types of programs are becoming a part of hospital delivery systems and a growing revenue center. This article presents a hospital-operated, work-site wellness model that was developed for the WorkingWell Network, the corporate wellness program offered by The Methodist Hospitals, Inc. (Gary and Merrillville, IN).
工作场所健康计划对大多数美国医疗保健市场来说并不新鲜。传统的健康项目源于20世纪80年代的健身热潮，通常包括鼓励公司员工养成健康生活方式的课程。由于普遍的按服务收费的环境并没有提供一种内在的激励来保持人们的健康，医院运营的工作场所健康计划很少超过这个基本的服务水平。企业、支付方和医院都看到了管理健康的经济价值，因此，这些类型的项目正在成为医院交付系统的一部分和一个不断增长的收入中心。这篇文章介绍了一个医院运作的工作场所健康模式，它是为WorkingWell网络开发的，WorkingWell网络是卫理公会医院公司(Gary and Merrillville, IN)提供的企业健康计划。
