1. Health Risk Assessments (HRAs)


HRAs evaluate members’ personal health and lifestyle information to gauge their risk for future conditions.

According to a study conducted by Employee Benefits News, 86% of employees who receive suggested steps based on their health risk assessment results take action.


2. Biometric screeningsBiometric screenings collect purely objective data and can often uncover previously undiagnosed conditions.


Data collected include:• BMI• Blood pressure • Cholesterol levels

2. Biometric screenings

The data gathered through the biometric screenings combined with personal history gathered through the HRA, provides a snapshot of your population’s health and can show where intervention can have the biggest impact.


Studies have shown that just receiving health information inspires change.


3. One-on-one intervention

After identifying members who could benefit from intervention, each member who completes the HRA and biometric screening is provided with at least a 30-minute individual health coaching consultation. © Healthgram, Inc. 2015
