Part of the core assessment at every level is
the employee wellness survey and health risk assessment and
profile. This online health
assessment tool is used to determine lifestyle, family
history, basic demographics, and personal history. This report
summarizes medical and self care patterns, health risks, and
health behaviors. The data focuses on health risks that are
modifiable thus allowing you to plan more cost effective employee
wellness programming in order to better manage the health
of your company. Results are provided in personalized reports
for each participant as well as a cohort report for the employer.
Subsequent yearly health risk assessment provides annual comparative
analysis. All information is completely confidential and complies
with all HIPAA
(Health Information Portability and Accountability Act) regulations.
The personalized individual health assessment
has many components including a health and safety risk assessment
profile. Even in the absence of programming, this allows for
more accurate projecting of future health care cost. The goal
of the personalized individual
health assessment report is to provide evidence-based
information, based on individual health risk and lifestyle
choices. With the health assessment report, the employee can
observe changes over time for areas that need work or for
those they have already worked on. It is important for each
individual to obtain the most current information about their
blood pressure, cholesterol level, body fat percentage, etc.
The best way to assure accuracy of the information being inputted
is to provide opportunity of measurement of data at the worksite.
It is recommended that the online
health assessment and employee wellness and health screening
be performed annually, with an ongoing comparative analysis
of individual and group trends. This is an essential tool
in addressing health risk exposure as well as evaluation of
steps taken to address any such health risks that are identified.
This will also provide an assessment of change in health risk
and status based on variations in the employee population
measured from year to year. It is also recommended that online
health assessment and employee health screening be performed
at approximately the same time each year. This will be coordinated
at the time of the contract development.
