Prevention in Action: Empowering Employees, Strengthening Organizations

Preventive care is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect health and wellbeing. Routine exams and screenings, like blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, mammograms, and colonoscopies, are designed to catch potential issues before they become serious. When individuals take part in these age- and gender-appropriate screenings, they’re not just checking a box. They’re taking meaningful steps to protect their future health and quality of life.

From Individual Choice to Organizational Impact

For HR leaders and employers, preventive care is more than a personal decision, it’s a cornerstone of population health. Encouraging employees to complete recommended exams helps reduce long-term healthcare costs, improve compliance, and create a culture where wellbeing is prioritized. When preventive care becomes part of the workplace conversation, employees feel supported, knowing their organization is invested in their long-term health.

Painting the Full Picture

Tracking preventive care is essential, but it doesn’t have to feel intrusive. Claims data provides a comprehensive view of who is completing exams and where gaps may exist. When paired with self-reporting, it gives HR teams a well-rounded picture of employee participation. This means organizations can focus on offering the right information and reminders at the right time, helping employees take the actions they want and need, while still supporting company goals around compliance and cost savings.

Turning Data into Action

By leveraging claims data alongside tools like biometric screenings and Know Your Number assessments, employers gain powerful insights into workforce health. These insights allow HR leaders to:

• Close Compliance Gaps: Identify missed opportunities for preventive care and offer timely reminders.

• Inform Outreach: Target resources and communication where they will have the greatest impact.

• Demonstrate Savings: Show measurable reductions in claims by addressing risks early and avoiding costly late-stage diagnoses.
