Executive Summary: A New Vision for Health and HR

Number One Health

Number One Health is a private medical services provider/consultancy based in London but with the ability to provide services globally through selected partners. The expertise within NOH, since its foundation 7 years ago, has led to the company working with more than 51 companies and includes: Occupational Health, Public Health, Travel Health, Tropical Medicine, Sexual Health, and Private GP services, Pandemic Flu, Health Services Consultancy and Health Screens.

The administration team supports 10 hand-picked doctors and 40 nurses.

Our Value Proposition: The problem we are trying to solve for busy HR managers

Number One Health has observed that the health focus of many companies is too narrow and we believe that significant cost-gains could be achieved with a wider-angle lens used by the HR department for the management of health linked to the business needs. Evidence for the potential cost gains is outlined in the main document in terms of the benefits of Occupational Health, the limitations of insurance and the benefits of a more holistic view of employee health.
Our Number One Solution

Number One Health’s solution is for HR and senior business executives to work together with an assigned medical team or person as part of a 'Health Improvement Team for the business’ (HIT). This team would have as its remit clear aims and objectives which can be measured, costed and scored alongside improved business effectiveness.  


We would work with you to measure existing data on your workforce, collect new data, advise on possible health improvements. Keep you up to date with relevant medical advances and technology that could help your workforce. Cost and measure the impact of interventions so that you can see the ‘bottom-line’ short or long-term cost savings.


Potential Cost Savings

Number One Health believes that the narrow focus on employee health represented by current PMI or OH alone is costing companies many £100s per employee per year. Ignoring the general health and welfare of employees is also costly.

Health Improvement teams or activities have been introduced effectively in:
Nestle
Marks and Spencers
Unilever
Tata Industries

Problems with current options in Health
Private Medical Insurance (PMI) – Models vary but the ideal includes self-referral. Models without this have awkward barriers to access. Uninsured costs have been estimated as ‘between 8 and 36 times the scale of costs recoverable through insurance’.
Occupational Health (OH) – depends on the contracted level of cover and may lack capacity to do more. For national companies there is very limited choice in service providers.
Lifestyle – These schemes are to be encouraged and some come with PMI.
Number One Health’s proposition is an overview of all of these with added benefits.
How Number One would engage with your business

Number One Health would charge your company for time spent with the Health Improvement Team (HIT), data analysis and any specific services (ie health screens) undertaken.
The Health Future

Number One Health believe this new vision is part of a new market in health care and should grow steadily achieving benefits for the companies and profitable work for NOH.

The Number One People

The Number One Health Team is led by Dr Charlie Easmon who has experience in all the relevant clinical areas and has assembled an excellent medical team supported by a first-rate administration team.
The Number One aim for 2010

In 2010 NOH seeks to work with at least 2 companies with at least 500 employees between them.
