简要总结
The purpose of this project is to determine the effectiveness of the corporate wellness program at Memorial Health System (MHS) in regards to:
- Improvement of health of employees
- Savings on health care expenses
The corporate wellness program itself is not the object of the study, but rather the results of the program are the focus. The program will be a dynamic process, changing over time to address the needs of the hospital system employees.
This study will look at the effects of the program as a whole to impact employee health and the cost of healthcare. This study will also evaluate individual components of the program (physical activity, stress management, etc) to determine specific benefits of those components to those who participate.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a corporate wellness program to improve the health of its employees and to save healthcare costs.
Many studies have been done evaluating the effectiveness of corporate wellness programs. Over the past 30 years, multiple iterations of corporate wellness programs have been utilized, causing a continual shift in philosophy and implementation. The current program is following closely the model instituted by Cleveland Clinic, utilizing recommendations and tools provided by the CDC and WELCOA via their web sites and publications.
Description of Program to be Evaluated MHS is initiating a corporate wellness program to be offered to all adult employees. The program will include a health risk assessment (HRA), which is the minimum required for enrollment in the program, as well as many additional optional benefits, such as access to exercise equipment, personal coaches, stress management classes, etc. There will also be corporate wide changes to the environment to include food options in the cafeteria and vending machines.
The HRA will be offered annually, and before and after completion of specific activities offered by the wellness program.
The HRA includes a survey, which requires about 30 minutes to complete, lab evaluation and biomarkers.
