Bloomfield Hills, MI, April 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Healthcare Initiatives LLC (IHI) has introduced a new wellness product called HealtheImpact, increasing recommended preventive care provided. HealtheImpact Preventive Care Awareness Program has shown to increase recommended preventive care by over 10%.
IHI has provided healthcare analytic and audit services to large self insured employers since 2001. Analysis of healthcare claim data shows that approximately 60% of members enrolled in employer health sponsored coverage do not get the recommended preventive care for their age and gender from providers.
To gain improvement IHI leverages current healthcare claim data and processes the information through proprietary software. Specific missed recommended preventive care opportunities are identified and each member is alerted of the preventive care missed for an opportunity to improve their health status.
HealtheImpact is easy to implement at any time and very cost effective for alerting members who missed their recommended preventive care.
Grand Rapids, MI - Family Christian Stores, Inc., Steve Biondo, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, felt the program made sense given the reasonable cost and program ROI. Steve stated "If the program reduces one hospitalization or identifies an illness at an early stage not only is our employee health improved it provides good financial stewardship. We also engaged in the program due to our success with IHI's healthcare audit and analysis service."
Results show improvements in preventive care of over 10% have been achieved. Employers can see a rapid impact on preventive care compliance and therefore an almost immediate ROI. It is an easy to implement, low cost, non-punitive program to alert employees (and dependents) of missed recommended preventive care.
HealtheImpact Preventive Care Awareness Program has been designed for complete customization of every component at no additional charge, incorporating employer's specific plans and other wellness services. Therefore, HealtheImpact readily works whether or not there is a wellness program currently in place. For employers who have a wellness program, HealtheImpact improves preventive care compliance and use of the employer's other wellness services.
