"As employers seek to offset rising costs and improve employee health, industry leaders point to the clinical and financial efficiency of the onsite health clinic," shares Dr. Updyke, who will be presenting information on the integrated medical home at an onsite clinic. "Sufficient research confirms onsite care is directly linked to reduced healthcare costs, boosted productivity and improved corporate reputation."

During the workshop, all three presenters will be allotted time to share their data, extensive understanding and experience gathered through their corporations, including demonstrated model approaches. The information presented will provide an opportunity for attendees to advance their knowledge and enhance corporate healthcare systems currently in place.

Dr. Miller, a contributing author to: "The Value of Chiropractic Services at Onsite Health Centers," which confirms chiropractic services to be an advantageous component of onsite clinics, shares: "This session will not only provide attendees with a comprehensive overview of the onsite clinic, but also proven management strategies that improve clinical quality with optimal Return on Investment (ROI). Employers interested in learning more about the onsite sector or advancing a pre-existing site will want to attend."

The NBCH Annual Conference aims to provide attendees with in-depth training, networking and product demonstrations with the healthcare industry's largest employer customers.
