The data collected from biometric screening and HRAs should be
provided to employees through a personalized health portal that
defines strategies for health improvement. These strategies may
include:
Changing Personal Behavior: Once a health condition is
identified, the individual is provided with recommendations
and resources for addressing the issue. This may include
weight loss assistance, referrals to smoking cessation
programs or a recommendation to schedule an appointment
with a physician.
Health Coaching: Many individuals don’t know where to
start when they’ve been diagnosed with a chronic condition.
A health coach will monitor and track the progress of an
individual’s condition and provide corrective guidance
along the way.
Metrics-Based Incentives: Whether in the form of
compensation, points, paid time off or gifts, incentives
motivate individuals to participate and succeed in companysponsored
health initiatives.
The data are aggregated from changes in behavior, health
coaching sessions and incentive participation to track an
employee’s health journey and determine their progress. Not only
will this information help employees determine whether further
modifications and interventions are needed, it will also help the
employer get an updated look at the health of his/her employee
population.
The data-driven technology is far-reaching in improving
employee health and helping employers reduce premium costs.
Employer-specific data are combined with hospital and health
system resources to provide population specific interventions. The
result is healthier employees and reduced costs for the employer.
In unprecedented ways, employers are taking charge and
making employee health an important part of their culture. In
partnership with local hospitals, employers gain the data, analysis,
tools and resources necessary to enhance employee health, mitigate
risk and positively impact health benefit expenses.
