2011 Benchmarks in Population Health Management: What's Working in Coaching, Weight Control and Tobacco Cessation
Healthcare Intelligence Network, July 2011, Pages: 100
While a recent study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that obesity is statistically a greater threat to overall public health than tobacco, the two behaviors still contribute to a high level of chronic illness and healthcare cost. To bend this cost trend and improve overall population health, providers, payors and employers have fashioned programs aimed at reducing these two behaviors. They also have invested heavily in health coaching to elicit the desired health behavior changes in these risk areas and others.
2011 Benchmarks in Population Health Management: What's Working in Coaching, Weight Control and Tobacco Cessation takes a comprehensive look at industry activity in health coaching as a whole, then drills down to condition-specific programs. The disease management data contained in this benchmarks report are derived from three separate surveys conducted in 2010 by the Healthcare Intelligence Network, to which a total of 425 organizations responded.
Each chapter documents trends in a particular area of health improvement, identifying current and planned initiatives, targeted populations, participant identification methods, key program components, estimated ROI, and much more — easily discerned in more than 80 easy-to-follow graphs and tables.
According to 2011 market research by the Healthcare Intelligence Network, smoking cessation and weight management are among the top five disease management programs for which financial and benefit-based incentives are offered.
