Implementing a Health Risk Assessment for Your Health Plan: What Works, What Doesn't, What's Legal

Maybe you’ve heard about health risk assessments and wonder if they’re a good idea for your organization. Or you’ve been tasked with implementing a health risk assessment as part of your health plan and don’t know much about them. You have a lot of questions such as “How can a health risk assessment help control health care costs?,” “What makes for an effective health risk assessment?,” “How do I get employees to participate?,” “What should I look for in a vendor?”, “Aren’t there a lot of legal issues with gathering health information about employees?”, and “Can I still do health risk assessments under health care reform?”

This OnDemand Webinar will allow you to begin the process of implementing a health risk assessment as part of your company health plan or wellness program. Learn about health risk assessment goals and expected outcomes, common design issues and encouraging participation, offering rewards and penalties, overcoming objections and the all-important employee buy-in. You will also learn how to avoid legal pitfalls and which health risk assessment designs raise sticky legal issues.
