THE FUTURE OF EMPLOYER STRATEGIC PLANNING: Health Reform, Exchanges, Defined Contribution…and Achieving a Competitive Workforce in a Global Economy
Industry analysts say Summer 2012 could be a “historic” time for health care. The Executive Forum kicks off with three insiders and big thinkers, painting futuristic scenarios for how regulation and market transformation could impact employer-based health care & wellness efforts. The scenarios will be centered on:
  • Delivery system change: transparency, outcomes research, payment reform – How should employers redesign benefits to maximize every dollar spent?
  • How might larger employers use the exchanges? What are the implications of a defined contribution model?
  • How is the Cadillac Tax driving a need for new employer solutions?
  • What will changes mean for the future of employee engagement in health, wellness and worksite clinic services?

THE INNOVATION CATALYST IN YOUR ORGANIZATION: Transformation through Worksite Health, Strong Plan Design and Outcomes-Driven Employee Wellness
How does your company make decisions? What is the value placed on your employees? How risk-adverse is your company? Does your corporate culture allow you to push the envelope? Where are the catalysts for innovation – not just in health care – but over all at your company? What problem are you trying to solve?

Strategic decision-making around health care and the value of worksite wellness offerings requires analysis of these critical questions.
This Keynote Discussion will:
    Provide strategic thinking to assess the types of solutions most relevant for individual corporate goals and culture
  • Do you want to drive systematic change, or look for integrated “bolt-on” solutions?
  • Position worksite health as an integrated solution, showcasing avenues to bridge the gap between on-site services, wellness and benefit design
  • Discuss channels for actionable employer health innovation

A Data-Driven Approach to Target Individuals, Focus Wellness Resources, and Maximize Impact

The challenge with many health and wellness programs is knowing where to focus resources. Focusing resources on individuals who are not adequately engaged in their own wellness is key to driving a bottom-line impact. This session will present results from a web-based tool that identifies individuals who are, and who are not, effectively engaged in managing their own health and wellness. WellScore integrates a broader scope of data to measure whether a person is healthy and will remain healthy. WellScore utilizes data from

  • Medical claims
  • Pharmaceutical claims
  • Biometrics
  • Health risk assessment data
  • HR data, Workers Compensation and Disability claims

WellScore can be used to identify employees for wellness incentives as well as for health improvement programs. By helping employers develop and sustain a healthy, engaged workforce; WellScore® drives a positive ROI---an ROI measured in terms of not just bending medical cost trends, but also on reduced absenteeism, lower workers compensation, lower disability, and healthier and more productive employees. With WellScore, employers can measure the bottom-line impact of their wellness initiatives.
