Get to the Heart of the Data

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, more than 75 percent of healthcare dollars are spent on chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and asthma, most of which are preventable through positive health habits, such as those encouraged through employee wellness programs.  Researchers at Harvard University found that medical costs fall about $3.27 for every dollar spent on wellness programs, and absentee costs fall by $2.73 for every dollar spent.

Health plans and health organizations need actionable data to provide proactive care.  Reducing cost through identification of employees at risk presents the highest potential benefit with predictive and clinical analytics.

With predictive and clinical analytics as a key tool, see how a forward thinking health plan works in partnership with a healthcare organization to implement an incentive-based wellness program for both the employees and the organization.  The program has seen a net savings of $3.4 million in healthcare costs which is a savings of $6 for every $1 invested in the program.

Our new case study shows you best practices that were  implemented by a nationally recognized health plan in partnership with a healthcare organization to achieve impactable results.
