Biometric screening programs are growing in popularity due to their potential to help curb and control employee health costs. They can also help employees be more aware of their health risks and encourage them to take action to improve their health. Choosing the Health Advocate™ onsite Biometric Screening Program is an important step toward improving your employees’ health and reducing healthcare costs for your organization. Our biometric screenings identify health risks early and can be a vital part of your company’s overall wellness plan.
Health Advocate’s onsite Biometric Screening Program conducts health screenings at your work site. These screenings identify risks for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. The program includes screenings for cholesterol, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, and more. We offer fasting and non-fasting screenings, finger pokes and blood draws. Additional screening options include bone density testing, colorectal cancer and TB testing, and certain immunizations, among others. If you wish, you can choose to offer incentives (such as discounts on healthcare premiums, a gift card, or company tchotchke) to encourage employees to participate in the screenings.
Licensed Health Advocate™ clinicians, including registered nurses, EMTs, paramedics and health educators, administer all screenings. These professionals also set up, monitor and streamline the entire process. Our staff talks with employees to review test results, answer questions and capitalize on “teachable” moments. We also provide multi-lingual screeners and create all promotional and educational materials to encourage employees to participate.
After the screening event, Health Advocate can provide you with a comprehensive, aggregate (patient de-identified) report of your employees’ results, based on national baseline health data. These reports provide a snapshot of employee health, and these valuable insights can help you design or modify your company-wide wellness program.
Additionally, each employee receives a confidential, personalized report of their screening results. Employees are encouraged to share the results with their primary care physician or Wellness Coach.
Health Advocate’s onsite Biometric Screening Program is seamlessly integrated into our Health Advocacy Program, Wellness Coaching Program and our other solutions. Like all of our programs, our onsite Biometric Screening Program is fully compliant with all HIPAA and GINA privacy regulations.
