Empowering Smart Health Decisions within Your Culture of Health
Up to 30% of care delivered in the U.S. may be unnecessary, and the impact on health outcomes and medical spend is dramatic. Consumers play a critical role in overcoming this challenge. However, they often lack the support and resources they need to make an informed medical decision.

Treatment decision support programs play a critical role in your culture of health. These programs empower consumers with objective medical information that helps them partner with their provider to make better decisions, saving everyone health care dollars.

During this session, you will:
  • Review a new study of national employer groups which demonstrates the savings generated from treatment decision support programs across multiple conditions
  • Discover how key demographic attributes impact consumer engagement in treatment decision support programs
  • Understand the role treatment decision support programs can play in generating health care value for employers and health plans

Opening Keynote Address—Zero Trends: Health as a Serious Economic Strategy
It is unlikely that most companies with be successful going forward in this competitive world-wide environment with anything but healthy and high performing people. Since World War II companies have focused their health related benefit designs on paying for sickness and health behaviors and what it got them is an unsustainable increase in costs. They are now saying that we are tired of paying exclusively for sickness and behavior change but now we want to focus on healthy and high performing individuals and, in fact, we want these strategies included within the total cost to get to the total value of health.

This session will focus on transforming health from a health strategy to an economic strategy through a population health management approach. It will focus on the cost of doing-nothing; the business case (based upon over 175 research publications) for investing in population health management; and; and the five primary pillars to design a total transformational health management strategy. Points to be addressed in this session:
  • Introduction and statement of the problem
  • Four research studies that point out the three to six year natural flow of Americans in regard to their health risks and healthcare costs.
  • Development of the business case related to the relationships of health risks and behaviors to the several costs to employers: medical, pharmacy, absence, short-term disability, long-term disability, worker’s compensation and presenteeism. These costs are derived from our 175 research publications in this area.
  • Presentation of the solution that would drive the cost increases to zero trend lines
    • Senior Leadership
    • Operations Leadership
    • Self Leadership
    • Recognition of Positive Actions
    • Quality Assurance
