Population Health Management: Providing Tools for a Healthier Tomorrow

Comprised of both Disease Management and Lifestyle/Wellness components, Population Health Management is designed to help individuals become more involved in managing their health. Program highlights include disease management and lifestyle coaching; interactive online tools; at-home and onsite biometric testing; onsite and online educational programs; and disease-specific equipment, such as glucose meters, weight scales, and blood pressure cuffs, which are equipped to send electronic readings to American Health's Nurse Coaches.

American Health's proprietary i-Suite software provides superior integration of data via leading-edge predictive modeling capabilities, biometric screenings, and a health assessment. This facilitates early identification of individuals who can benefit from Disease Management and Lifestyle/Wellness resources.To promote program participation, each eligible household receives a Welcome Kit, which details the program benefits and options. The kit also contains healthy living information, product samples to help individuals effectively manage their health, and an At-Home Biometric Test. The test, which measure HbA1c and cholesterol levels, can help employees learn if they have or are at risk for developing diabetes or heart disease.

Disease Management

American Health's Disease Management coaching is taking aim at the self-management competencies that drive behaviors and patient activation. The company has adopted the Patient Activation Measure™ (PAM™). Utilized by leading health care organizations, the PAM™ is a clinically-proven behavioral evaluation tool that assesses an individual's confidence, knowledge, skills, and ability to self-manage a chronic condition. Results of the assessment are used to help coaches collaborate with participants to set behavior-change goals and pursue action steps that are tailored to the needs of each participant.


Lifestyle/Wellness

Participants in American Health's Lifestyle/Wellness program have a variety of educational tools available to them, including a Health Web Portal. The Portal provides healthy living information, a drug dictionary, health and fitness trackers, online health coaching programs, a disease and condition center, heart attack risk factor assessment, menu planner, quizzes, glossaries, self-care tools, a prescription drug guide, symptom checker, Live 24/7 Nurse Chat, and a Health Assessment (HA). The Portal even has an Incentive Tracking and Reward Fulfillment Center that enables employers to provide gift card rewards to employees who engage in healthy behaviors.

The HA is a critical component of the Lifestyle/Wellness program, as it helps participants identify ways in which they are effectively managing their health and how they can reduce their modifiable personal health risks. The HA results are used to stratify participants based on their level of risk and identify those who can benefit most from working one-on-one with a Lifestyle Coach. Participants who meet the criteria for participating in Lifestyle Coaching receive education and support to develop personalized plans for improving nutrition, implementing and adhering to a fitness program, managing stress, and modifying other lifestyle behaviors that impact health and well-being.
