The History of the Mayo Clinic is Very Relevant to Employee Health Plans Today.
The Founder of the Mayo Clinic, Dr. W W Mayo, Believed that Fee-for-Service would Bias the Judgement of Doctors. Therefore, from the Very Beginning, the Mayo Clinic Always Had Its Doctors on SALARY.
The Mayo Clinic Also Has Its Specialists Coordinate Their Care AROUND the Patient, Rather Than Having the Patient 'Ping-Pong' from One Specialist to the Next.
The Mayo Clinic Believes in the Early Adoption of Scientifically Proven New Techniques and Innovations.
Example: The Mayo Clinic Was One of the First Hospitals in America to Adopt Sterile Technique for Surgery and Dramatically Lowered Operative Infections.
The Point: While Employers Cannot Send Every Health Plan Member to the Mayo Clinic, the Local Academic Medical Center--that 1) Has Its Doctors on Salary, 2) Coordinates Care with the Patient at the Center and 3) Adopts Scientifically Proven Processes--May Be the Next Best Alternative for Patient Care Over a Local Community Hospital.
