Investing in Health Management

“Do nothing” strategy no longer works.

Waiting until costs are unmanageable

can be more costly and ineffective.

The goal of effective worksite health

promotion initiatives is to shift the curve

by investing in prevention rather than

high-cost management.

Employers need to manage the

health of their human capital like

they manage other corporate

assets.Source: Rosie Ward; RJF Agencies

Traits of the Most Effective Programs

Spending For Chronic Conditions: A Ten-Year Trend

Given the rising prevalence in chronic conditions among adults over age forty-four and the fact that many (but not all) chronic conditions can be attributed to poor lifestyle habits or better controlled with improved lifestyles, health insurance benefit redesign and health care reform should include incentives for people to adopt lifestyle practices that reduce chronic condition risk and improve health.

Employers are increasingly recognizing the value of wellness programs and making them available to employees. However, more dramatic and systematic efforts are needed to induce a societal shift where primary and secondary prevention is considered a basic benefit and healthy lifestyles are the cultural norm.

-Kathryn Anne Paez, Lan Zhao, and Wenke Hwang HEALTH AFFAIRS ~ Vo l u m e 2 8 , Nu m b e r 1

Workplace Wellness Programs Can Generate Savings

ABSTRACT: Amid soaring health spending, there is growing interest in

workplace disease prevention and wellness programs to improve

health and lower costs.

In a critical meta-analysis of the literature on costs and savings

associated with such programs, we found that medical costs fall by

about $3.27 for every dollar spent on wellness programs, and that

absenteeism costs fall by about $2.73 for every dollar spent.

Although further exploration of the mechanisms at work and broader

applicability of the findings is needed, this return on investment

suggests that the wider adoption of such programs could prove

beneficial for budgets and productivity as well as health outcomes.
