Benchmarks in Health Improvement Incentives from 200 Companies and Industry Thought Leaders
"Benchmarks in Health & Wellness Incentives" Offers Utilization, Effectiveness
Data to Drive Health Promotion, Compliance and ROI
March 3, 2009
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — Whether they take the form of gift cards, gym
memberships, benefit premium reductions or a lump sum payment, incentives are
having a significant impact on healthcare costs and utilization, risk factor
reduction and employee productivity. And in spite of a faltering economy —
and in many cases because of it — companies are so encouraged by these results
that they have no plans to cut and in many cases will increase incentives to
encourage participation in health promotion efforts. These trends, as well as
advice and case studies in incentives use, are documented in Benchmarks in
Health & Wellness Incentives: Utilization and Effectiveness Data to Drive
Health Promotion, Compliance and ROI. Get actionable data on incentives that
motivate and engage individuals in health programs.
NEWS FACTS:
Benchmarks in Health & Wellness Incentives: Utilization and Effectiveness
Data to Drive Health Promotion, Compliance and ROI is a 30-page report
that combines the responses of more than 200 healthcare organizations to HIN's 2009
Health and Wellness Incentives Utilization Survey with recommendations from 25 thought leaders in health and wellness promotion.
Presenting survey data in easy-to-follow graphs and tables, this resource is targeted to healthcare payors, employers, providers and any organization
charged with the design and implementation of health and wellness programs.
Provides advice from 25 thought leaders in health and
wellness promotion, including two researchers in health promotion and behavior
change from Stanford University, the birthplace of the Stanford Health and
Lifestyle Assessment (SHALA).
Includes case studies of four successful health incentives programs — including
the Mayo Clinic Rewards Point Program for long-term and repeat participation.
Data highlights include:
- Sector-specific analysis of incentives use in health and wellness programs;
- Top three incentives for generating the highest participation and engagement
levels;
- The number one health improvement activity incented by 80 percent of survey
respondents;
- Ideas for incentives that reward repeat or long-term participation and the
programs that warrant them;
- The surprising impact of the economy on incentives use and why many
companies are increasing rather than decreasing incentives during the economic
downturn;
- Program features and delivery methods;
- Optimal methods for educating populations about incentive programs,
including the increasing use of Web 2.0 and social networking tools;
-
The impact of incentives on healthcare costs, health utilization, comorbidity,
risk factor reduction, employee productivity and presenteeism;
and much more.
Review metrics and measurements on incentives that
motivate and engage individuals in health programs.
QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

profile.
“There's a reason why health and wellness program directors are zealously
guarding their incentive program budgets in a time of intense management
scrutiny — because they are worth their weight in health claims reduction and
because employees and members react positively when incented and rewarded for
positive health behaviors. There's a wealth of data in this resource for
program managers who need to defend incentive programs."
