More Than Risk Scores Means More Reward

With WellScore, organizations can expect to see healthier people. How? The numbers tell the story. Blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), blood sugar, cholesterol, physical activity, proper nutrition, proper sleep, appropriate preventive care and taking medications as prescribed are all variables that contribute to good health. It can be difficult to see how these pieces fit together to form a complete picture of health. The array of health status indicators can be overwhelming. WellScore combines all the pieces together into a single number. Simply put, WellScore lets you know at a glance how healthy your people are and whether they’re likely to stay that way or if they are at risk for developing significant health issues that decrease performance and increase costs. Outcomes are measured in three distinct phases: participation, health status and financial.

The first phase examines participation in care management or health improvement programs. For those that have an unfavorable WellScore®, you can measure whether those participants are following through and engaging in health management behaviors and improving their health status.
WellScore is also a powerful analytic tool. Similar to a credit score, improvements in health status and engagement results in better scores. WellScore directly measures whether the campaign is influencing health, wellbeing and engagement. When a given population’s overall WellScore improves, an organization can be confident that its investments are paying off.
Improvements in WellScore precede or anticipate reductions in health-related costs. As population’s WellScore goes up, costs will come down as improved health and wellbeing become evident. WellScore is a leading indicator and provides virtually real-time feedback on the effectiveness of an organization’s population health management investments in terms of health care costs and worker productivity.
Employees with higher WellScores are more likely to be on the job and engaged. As WellScores improve, employers will see absenteeism, disability, and turnover costs decrease.
As an employer's WellScore improves, business outcomes improve. Healthier employees use less sick days and are more engaged in their work leading to fewer manufacturing defects, an improved customer experience, or both.
The root cause of rising benefit costs is the health of the workforce and their families. As WellScores improve, medical and pharmacy benefits, absenteeism, disability and workers’ compensation costs go down.

WellScore® quantifies program impact in near real time.

In addition to measuring an individual’s health status, well-being and engagement, WellScore provides a comprehensive view of the organization as a whole. As population health management initiatives take hold and individuals become more engaged in their own health and well-being, WellScores start improving. When an organization’s WellScore improves over time, management has the confidence that its investments are resulting in healthier people, which in turn drives lower costs.

While cost savings are lagging, a retrospective measure of success, WellScore is a leading, prospective measure.
