Topic: Been There, Done That… Now What? Where We’ve Been & What’s Next in Healthcare Date: May 24, 2011 at 1:00 - 2:00 PM ET

Description

Did You Know:

" United States (U.S.) national health expenditures totaled $2.5 trillion in 2010, accounted for 17.6% of Gross Domestic Product and averaged more than $8,000 per person.*
" Health care costs have continued to increase at two to three times the rate of inflation for more than 50 years.
" Today a significant portion of illness related health care spending in the U.S. is attributable to unhealthy lifestyle choices.

What’s the last BEST way to improve your healthcare costs? <u>Wellness programs. These programs are gaining popularity due to the belief that unhealthy lifestyles can be changed with effective intervention, information and an ongoing support structure. Targeted programs based on the latest advances in behavioral health research and technology are providing employers with increasingly effective and affordable methods for improving workforce health and productivity, whether the issues involve smoking cessation, stress management, obesity, or depression.

Wellness Programs: The Last BEST Way to Control Your Benefits Costs

This webinar will discuss the effectiveness of employer sponsored wellness programs – looking at what is working in lowering actual health care costs and what isn’t. In addition, we will discuss the importance of determining hard and soft dollar ROI when sponsoring a wellness program, taking into account measurable changes in productivity as well as lower health care costs.
