Integrated Health Management and Consulting
As part of your
Business Health Assessment, we take a look at your organization’s current
health-related offerings and link them together for improved efficiency and
cost-savings. All too often, organizations lack a coordinated approach to
addressing employee’s needs. You may already have programs in place
that improve your employee’s health and yet the existence or duplication
of these programs may be completely unknown, even by management. Once we evaluate
your current offerings, we can help you enhance your program, or create a
new one, customized especially for your work environment. Our goal is to is
provide your employees with the information they need to make healthier, smarter
lifestyle choices.
• Lifestyle Management and Disease Prevention
WelCo’s
entire health education program focuses on lifestyle management and disease
prevention. These programs are designed to assist individuals with low to
moderate lifestyle risks. Those who already have a chronic health condition
can benefit by learning to more effectively manage their disease through education,
prevention and compliance with a disease management plan. The majority of
chronic illnesses have many lifestyle related components to them. Physical
inactivity, for example, can lead to such costly health conditions as heart
disease, stroke, colon cancer, diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis. Every
year $600 billion is spent on treating chronic illnesses.
WelCo’s WelLife Essentials™ Lifestyle Management and Disease Prevention
Program provides support and employee education that goes beyond traditional
health coverage. It allows employees to be more proactive about managing his
or her health, ultimately making them healthier and reducing health care costs.

Your specific WelLife Essentials Program is based on information obtained
from aggregate claims data and health interest surveys.

Health Risk Screening
As part of the
WelLife Essentials program, participants are able to participate in HealthvCheck,
a free and confidential health assessment administered by a WelCo Health Solutions-WelCoach
or other health care provider. HealthvCheck gives individuals the opportunity
to have their cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, height, and weight
measured and your body mass index calculated. After completion of HealthCheck,
participants will meet with a WelCoach to discuss the results of HealthCheck,
assess the current health, and identify any specific health issues employees
may face now or in the future.

Incentive Management
WelCo’s
WelRewards Incentive Management program is designed to maximize enrollment
— both at kickoff and on an ongoing basis — and to keep participants
engaged throughout the duration of the program. Industry research and WelCo's
own client experience have proven that the greater the level of incentive,
the greater the program participation. High participation increases the chances
of success in modifying risky health behaviors and reducing healthcare costs.

Reporting and Evaluation
WelCo flexible
tracking and measuring capabilities allows us to report on the number of individuals
participating, how selected groups compare with others, and how many are improving
their health. In addition we can monitor changes in health screening data
such as blood pressure, weight and cholesterol. Trends in group activity tracking,
including whether participation is increasing and/or decreasing, the number
of participants meeting goals, and which events are most popular can be evaluated.
