Population Health Management seeks to improve the wellness outcomes for a defined group through improvements in one of many areas. In the context of workplace wellness, both lifestyle management (programs that incentivize smoking cessation, weight loss, and the reduction of other chronic disease risk factors) and disease management (programs that help workers with chronic disease diagnoses to manage and control their conditions) play important roles in reducing long-term risk factors. Employers and healthcare organizations have begun to use employees’ health data to identify at-risk individuals, craft healthcare best practices, and actively engage employees in their health outcomes while also working to control costs and improve the quality of care.

Many companies already offer incentives for biometric testing; however, because employees may view these assessments intrusive, less than 50% of all employees participate in health risk assessments, even if they are financially incentivizing.

Our Behavioral Fitness™ Population Health Programs look beyond lifestyle and biometric testing and explore additional workforce measures. This approach has proven to be the secret sauce to exceeding expectations in fiscal, operational, and clinical outcomes.
