Wellness Programs for Ohio Schools Wellness Programs for Ohio Schools

Agenda Welcome and Introductions SEHCB Wellness Program Requirements What is a Wellness Program? Why should we start a Wellness Program? How do we get started? How do we increase participation? What is the role of the Superintendent /Treasurer/Association Leader? Worthington CSD Wellness Program What do these programs cost? What are the benefits and savings of these programs? Wrap-Up

SEHCB Wellness Program Requirements Evaluation of historical claims experience Personal Health Assessment/ Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Biometric screening Support and education for individuals with lifestyle health risks Health/wellness programs Regularly-scheduled reports to the health plan sponsor

What is a Wellness Program?

“Wellness programs are something we do with and for our employees, not something we do to them.” ~Dr. David Hunnicutt, President, WELCOA

What is a biometric screening? Small amount of blood is taken by a vena puncture or finger stick to give a snapshot of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, glucose, and triglycerides Ht/Wt/BMI Blood Pressure Nurse Consultation Process takes about 15 minutes

Health Risk Assessment (HRA) A short survey to gather information about your health, personal habits, and family health history Used to create a personal report; information is confidential and is sent only to the individual An aggregate report is sent to the employer; no individuals can be identified in this report

Additional Program Components Climate/Interest Survey Worksite Wellness Programs Health Coaching Disease State Management Community Events (walks, marathons, etc.) Contests (Biggest Loser, etc.) Evaluation ~Avoid random acts of wellness~

Incentives A good incentive program should create meaningful rewards that reach out and attract staff in small but significant ways Incented programs encourage higher participation and are more effective Incentives take many forms, i.e. cash, gift cards, differentiated premiums, etc.

Why Wellness?

Within your population... ~20% have chronic or acute conditions; these individuals account for ~80% of your insurance costs ~40% are at risk for going into the chronic group ~40% are healthy

Think about this... How can a Wellness Program best impact: the chronic/acute group? the at-risk group? the healthy group?

Rationale for Wellness Programs Improved employee health and well-being Improve morale Increase employee retention Fewer work-related injuries Fewer worker’s comp and disability claims Positive community image Manage chronic & acute states Keep healthy employees healthy Keep those with borderline health issues from becoming chronic Increase productivity Decrease absenteeism Help stabilize health care costs – “Bend the Trend” Healthy role models for students SEHCB Directives, effective 1/1/2009

How do we get started? First Steps...

Getting Started ~ WELCOA’s 7 Benchmarks Capture CEO Support Create a Cohesive Wellness Team Collect Data to Drive Health Efforts Craft an Operating Plan Choose Appropriate Interventions Create a Supportive Environment Carefully Evaluate Outcomes
