NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- With the cost of health premiums soaring, benefits managers will have a chance to learn how Hospital Corporation of America cut costs by keeping a group of employees healthier -- and earned a return on investment of almost three to one in the first year.
Benefits managers who walk a tightrope between keeping costs in check and employees covered can learn about HCA’s win for employees and management at the 17th Annual Benefits Management Forum & Expo, Sept. 19-22 in Nashville, Tenn.
Robert Read, director of benefits planning and design for HCA will join Gregg Lehman, PhD, president and CEO of Gordian Health Solutions, Inc. to present “Cutting Costs by Giving Employers Tools for Health Choices” at the Expo. The program will show how employers can improve the bottom line by giving employees the tools they need to reduce health risk factors.
Gordian is a nationally-recognized leader in population health management, offering a full line of tools to analyze health status, health management programs and services, and unparalleled results reporting and tracking capabilities. As past president of the National Business Coalition on Health, Lehman is keenly aware of the needs of employers to offer valuable health benefits while balancing costs.
“Rising costs are leading employers to take a closer look at population health management,” Lehman says. “By managing interventions and actively coaching participants across the risk spectrum -- from low-risk through high- risk, and including those who are already filing health claims -- Gordian population health management programs tackle the issues that devour many of the nation’s health care dollars.”
Read will showcase a voluntary pilot program HCA used to test the effectiveness of population health management. After just one year, the company experienced a return on investment of nearly $3 for every $1 invested in the program.
