Population Health

Population health built around your workforce's real data

Mental health costs have doubled in five years to $300 billion, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and most wellness programs are still built for an average employee rather than what a workforce's own data shows. HUB's population health approach starts with claims, pharmacy and wellness data, not a template.

Why It Matters

Why population health and wellbeing get confused 

Employers rarely start by deciding whether their priority is population health, wellbeing and culture, or both, so wellness and culture initiatives get designed apart from clinical and pharmacy claims data, and population health, absence management and voluntary benefits often sit with different internal owners. Without that upfront choice, programs end up addressing generic best practice instead of what is driving cost and poor outcomes in a specific workforce.

HUB's Approach

Population health strategy built on workforce data

HUB starts by helping clients determine whether population health, wellbeing and culture, or both, is the priority, since each draws on a different data set — population health strategy runs on claims, pharmacy and wellness program data, while wellbeing and culture initiatives draw on retention, engagement, exit-interview and culture-survey data. From there, HUB builds strategy around a workforce needs assessment specific to that goal. Advisors analyze the relevant data together — the same integrated approach behind HUB's clinical informatics work — to identify which specific health and productivity issues are affecting a given workforce.

 

From there, HUB reviews participation barriers and designs for equal access across the workforce, addressing physical, mental, social and financial dimensions of wellbeing rather than a single generic offering. Programs are scaled to an employer's size and budget and supported by HUB resources, so the strategy is specific to what the data shows rather than a package applied the same way everywhere.
