Building an integrated health management system at Honeywell.
The ideal of many a company seriously committed to managing its health care costs is to coordinate all its health-related functions. Honeywell, through a 14-person team representing 10 functions, has come closer to achieving this ideal than most. In the process, the Company saved $27.5 million in 2 years and has expanded its aims well beyond cost containment. How it conceived, staffed and developed its "hybrid" health management organization is described by the Company's Health Systems Director and the author of a recent book detailing Honeywell's many programs.
