Abstract:

Corporations in the US are deploying 'Corporate Wellness Programs' to reduce their healthcare expenses. However, those programs have failed to deliver the ROI, because they do not address the medical needs of employees who are high health care utilizers.


Abstract Continued:

Studies have shown that these high health care utilizers lead to 70% of the health care expenses, resulting from Urgent Care visits, ER visits, subspecialist visits, imaging diagnostics, and invasive interventions. Obesity, Type 2 diabetes, Ischemic Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Sleep Apnea and associated co-morbidities are highly prevalent in this population. Also, they are at risk for high cost conditions like Stroke, Heart Attack and many different kinds of Cancers (endometrial, breast, colon), leading to high health care utilization.

We present a solution that can help save healthcare costs by enhancing existing corporate wellness programs to identify and serve high health care utilizers. Further, we discuss the specific clinical outcomes achieved by a Bariatrician led care team which provides comprehensive, evidence-based, personalized care for high health care utilizers.

Best Practices forCorporate WellnessPersonalized Medical Wellnessto tackle Runaway Healthcare Costs

Medical Costs and Savings


Potential SavingsThe program reduces urgent care and ER visits, and the need for costly, invasive interventions.

Annual direct cost per medical condition for high needs employees:


According to another independent study3 by the National Institute for Health Care Management Foundation, the average annual healthcare expenses for the high-needs employees was $26,767 in 2009.

http://www.healncure.com/corporate/

Cost Avoidance and Results

An analysis of medical and claims data for 103 clinically obese high-risk patients referred to our program proved that their obesity, diabetes, and heart disease conditions were reversed. This correlates to potential savings of $1,477,175 per year. These high-risk patients were enrolled in our personalized Medical Wellness Program for an average of 21.7 weeks in 2011-2012. High quality care is less costly.

Heal n Cure’s Recommendations for Employers

• Effectively communicate what is offered at the workplace, what employees are doing in

company programs and share clinical data from biometric screenings. This allows our

physician to highlight and support employer efforts during visits with the employee.

• Focus chronic disease management programs on lifestyle change and health

improvement activities; not on the chronic condition itself.

• Offer an incentive tied to obtaining an annual physical. Consider additional incentives

for developing individualized goals based on the results of the physical. Employees will

see it as an opportunity to work with their physician and the results can lead to healthy

behavior changes.

Key Research Findings

• A significant event that involves a family member or loved one can serve as a major trigger to encourage healthy behavior change

• Employees need the confidence to take action and the conviction, along with tools, resources and support, to get started and keep going

• Employees prefer activities that are personalized, targeted to their specific needs and support work/life balance.

• Employees believe the most credible source for health information is their doctor.

• Physicians believe it takes an entire spectrum of support – the patient’s health care team, including the physician, family, friends, employer, health plan and health coach – to help employees improve and manage their health. It also takes effective communications and solutions that involve the entire family.
