Identifying Your Health Risk and Total Costs

Integrated data models show new and actionable associations for intervention by bringing all of your data together. The numbers make it clear that comprehensive integrated data identifies more of an organization’s health risk. The integration of assessment data with benefit claims data allows for an 85 percent increase in the identification of health risk and disease. Predicting these risks and encouraging the population to take preventive action can significantly reduce long-term costs for your organization.

Workpartners' proprietary Human Capital Risk Index, HUI®, allows us to predictively measure the risk and cost of each person in your population and monitor changes on both an individual level and population over time. You’ll be fully aware of your workplace environment and able to stay on top of health and productivity in your workplace. This risk data, along with the rest of your integrated system, allows you to create the best possible environment for improving employee health.
