Interactive Intelligence Opens On-Site Health Care Clinic

Business Wire
Interactive Intelligence (Nasdaq: ININ), a global provider of
unified IP business communications solutions, has opened an on-site
health care clinic to increase employee focus on wellness and
prevention.
Interactive Intelligence has contracted with OurHealth, a
provider of on-site health management services, to provide the
clinic’s infrastructure, supplies, and physician services. The
clinic, which is located in the company’s northwest-side
headquarters facility in Indianapolis, opened Sept.8.
“Our on-site health care clinic is part of an ongoing effort to
more effectively engage our employees in their own health care with
an emphasis on prevention,” said Interactive Intelligence founder
and CEO, Dr. Donald E. Brown. “By providing services on-site,
employees are encouraged to seek health care assistance sooner and
more frequently than they might otherwise, which we believe will
lead to a healthier and happier workforce.”
The on-site physician services are offered Monday through Friday
and include annual exams, immunization, blood tests, behavioral
health evaluations, generic drug prescriptions, and other screening
and treatment procedures. The services also include online access
to risk assessment and management programs designed to address
smoking cessation, weight management, nutrition, chronic pain, and
other health concerns.
The new physician services are offered optionally as a
supplement to the existing Interactive Intelligence-provided health
plan.
“The Interactive Intelligence on-site health care clinic is
unique in that the companies who offer anything like this tend to
be very large, with services focused on drug testing and treatment
of occupational hazards rather than comprehensive wellness and
prevention,” said Dr. Jeffrey M. Wells, OurHealth co-founder and
president, and former director of Medicaid for the State of
Indiana.
OurHealth worked closely with Interactive Intelligence employees
to determine the best supplemental health care fit.
“Based on employee survey responses, the vast majority were
supportive of an on-site clinic, but interestingly many were
concerned about costs to the company,” Wells said. “Though it’s
impossible to definitively say how this will impact the company’s
health care costs, all indicators point toward either keeping them
static or lowering costs through less expensive services compared
to those provided externally, as well as earlier and more efficient
treatment.”
In addition to on-site employees, Interactive Intelligence is
offering its new health care clinic services to remote employees
who can take advantage of them while visiting company headquarters,
or by using their own physician following completion of a wellness
survey. The services are also offered to employees who are on their
spouse’s plan.
“From its provision of space and supplies, to its comprehensive
wellness and prevention-focused services, OurHealth has given
Interactive Intelligence a low-risk, high-value business
proposition for providing its employees with the most innovative,
expert care available,” said Joe Perkins, a partner at MJ
Insurance, the benefits advisor for Interactive Intelligence.
That OurHealth was based in Indianapolis was also a plus,
according to Dr. Brown.
“Like us, OurHealth is a locally-based company so this
partnership was very much in line with our mission to engage nearby
vendors to help support Indiana’s economy,” Brown said.
“OurHealth’s unique approach to delivering the most advanced tools
and technologies focused on promoting wellness and enhancing
patient convenience also fit perfectly with our own mission of
injecting innovation into everything we do.”
