5 Ways a Cloud-Based System Can Simplify Your

Wellness Program

Employers spend an average of $594 per employee on wellness programs aimed at decreasing costs. We know these types of programs can result in a high ROI, but how can you measure and track outcomes of your programs without getting bogged down in paperwork?

A cloud-based system such as Healthgram’s Care Management System (CMS) is fully customizable to your program, allowing you to own your data and then make your data work for you in the form of actionable reporting. Here are five ways this type of system simplifies the process:

1.) Collects data from a variety of sources

Medical and prescription claims, member encounter information, and Health Risk Assessment and screening results are most powerful when they work together. Having all of your data in one place allows you to start building your data warehouse to predict risks and strategically intervene.

2.) Identifies risk and impacts the bottom line

Once collected, data needs to be analyzed to identify trends and risks. This sets the stage for powerful care coordination through tracking physician referrals and utilization. Smart healthcare consumption greatly impacts your bottom line and should be enforced through continuous monitoring and member education.

3.) Gives you the power of owning your data

You are making a large investment in wellness, so isn’t it important that you own your data? Stay in control, make critical decisions regarding your business and realize savings opportunities that previously went undiscovered when the full picture of your data wasn’t available.

4.) Provides reporting on demand

It’s not enough just to have data. You need a system that provides actionable items to help you better administer your program. A cloud-based system makes reporting on your raw data accessible 24/7, without the need to wait on a third party or receive manipulated figures.

5.) Brings you the comprehensiveness of an EMR

You’ll need somewhere to securely store this information where it is accessible for members, clinicians or health coaches, and on an aggregate level for employers. That’s where CMS’s Personal Health Record steps in.
