OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to better serve the diverse population of its clients, SimplyWell(R) LLC announced today the launch of a Spanish language mode of its Population Health Management (PHM) applications. SimplyWell participants may now view their personal health and medical record, individualized action plan and educational modules in either English or Spanish language based on their individual need or personal preference.
“By offering a Spanish language mode, SimplyWell is demonstrating once again our innovative technology and progressive spirit by responding to the growing Hispanic population in our country,” said Scott E. McFarland, CEO of SimplyWell. “SimplyWell will be able to impact and improve health outcomes for a population that is often underserved and uninformed about their own health status, general health information and appropriate healthcare utilization. We hope that the Spanish language mode will encourage more engagement in SimplyWell’s health and disease management tools; and help organizations reduce costs and retain healthy employees.”
One of the largest privately-owned beef processing companies in the country, Greater Omaha Packing Company anticipates greater participation in SimplyWell this year with the addition of the Spanish language mode application. A SimplyWell client for the last two years, Greater Omaha Packing has more than 700 Omaha-based employees of which over 80% are of Hispanic descent. Earlier this year, Greater Omaha Packing received the Platinum Award by the Wellness Council of America for demonstrating success with its results-oriented worksite wellness programming.
“SimplyWell has assisted Greater Omaha in providing proper medical guidance and resources for our employees and their families to learn skills of high level wellness, self responsibility, nutritional awareness, physical fitness, and encourages lifestyle changes as a way of living a longer, healthier life,” said Kathleen Krantz, Vice President of Technical Resources, Greater Omaha Packing Co., Inc. “The development of this SimplyWell English/Spanish module is a continued improvement in allowing our employees and their families an equal opportunity to participate in healthy lifestyle choices while taking ownership of their individualized health needs. SimplyWell is a necessary tool in managing an organization’s medical insurance costs and the real solution to cost containment in rising healthcare costs. It’s a win-win for the employer and the employees.”
A next generation technology leader in the PHM and Disease Management industry, SimplyWell’s medically-based, high tech, high touch Population Health Management applications assess and evaluate an organization’s healthcare costs and health risks. Individualized action plans are created that empower employees, emphasize individual accountability and document behavior modification.
