The purpose of an HRA is to identify risk factors for future illnesses, conditions, and injuries, in order to prevent them from occurring. An HRA generally includes: a questionnaire pertaining to personal health and lifestyle choices (available on the internet or paper (English or Spanish) and in concise or comprehensive formats); a health screen including biometrics testing and blood draw; and follow up education/coaching to encourage healthy lifestyle change.
You can control rising healthcare costs! By partnering with Midland Health to provide health risk appraisals (HRAs), your employees will realize their health risks and learn to make positive changes for a healthier, more productive tomorrow.
Step 1 in reducing costs: Give your employees incentive to sign up for the HRA!
We can assist you in creating effective incentive actions for your company culture. We can also show you a HIPAA compliant way to base employees' health care premiums on their HRA scores.
Step 2: Provide follow up and coaching!
Once participants know what their health risks and unhealthy lifestyle choices are, they will benefit from guidance to help them improve. Follow up is essential for those who may not be immediately prepared to act on their risks. Evidence indicates that with education and support, people can take charge of their own health!
Follow up programs such as Nutrition & Weight Management; Stress Management; Fitness; Smoking Cessation; Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, or Diabetes Management; and Goal Achievement, may be accomplished through personal one-on-one coaching, self coaching via the internet, or group educational sessions. Midland Health is ready to provide HRAs on site at one or all of your locations nationwide. Call us today for a free consultation!
