Medivon’s Health Optimization Solution

• Biometric Testing• Health Risk Questionnaire (Web-based)• Wellness Management (software-driven)• Disease Management (software-driven)• Incentives for Improving Health Status• Population Analytics

How Do We Assess Risk?• The challenge is to find individuals with risk factors

• Also asymptomatic people in the very earliest stage of disease

• A Health Risk Assessment (HRA) questionnaire identifies an individual’s risks related to diet, lifestyle, medical history, etc.

• Clinical testing uncovers unknown health risks and helps to stratify risk levels

• People determined to be at risk are enrolled in Wellness and Disease Management Programs

Clinical Testing Identifies Lurking Problems

• It’s quite expensive to have doctors do extensive clinical testing for everyone

• But if we perform mass screening efficiently, the cost per person is low, and the ROI is impressive

• Clinical testing dramatically enhances risk detection

In a sample of 12,000 people who completed the McMaster Health Index Questionnaire and also had worksite biometric testing, 33% self-reported “good” or “excellent” health but unknowingly had 3 or more clinical risk factors. Also, 74% could not self-report their cholesterol, blood pressure, or body fat.

Goals of Medivon’s Testing Program

1. Maximize participation

2. Administer the most effective tests and measurements

3. Systematic and smooth workflow for participants

4. Provide and explain results immediately

5. Encourage engagement with wellness and disease management programs, and with healthcare providers

6. Establish incentives to improve scores next year

1. Maximize Participation

• Emailed invitations to employees• Mailing to homes• Link to more info on Web• Incentives to participate, such as cash cards

Get Your Health Grades TO: [Staff Person]

FR: [Principal of the Staff Person’s School]

RE: Free Clinical Testing for Staff at Our School Please read the message below to learn how to: Find out your clinical-test scores and key measurements Improve these scores and measurements, to optimize your health status and increase your life span Get $25…just for taking care of yourself Nothing is more important than your health. To live a long and healthy life, you first need to know if you have any risk factors. If you do, and you learn what they are, you can often just modify your diet and lifestyle to lower your risk. Or perhaps you will need a medication or some other help from your doctor. However, if you do nothing to identify and remedy your risk factors, the impact can be devastating. For many people unaware of their risk of heart disease, for example, the first symptom they notice is a heart attack. I don’t want you to be one of those people. As your Principal, I heartily join with our health insurer in encouraging you to “Get Your Health Grades”. On January 15th, from 9 AM to Noon, Our insurer is conducting an exciting and important event in our cafeteria, which will enable you to better understand your health status. I would like every single one of you to take advantage of this offering. We will be providing FREE clinical testing for you and also for your spouse if s/he can get to our school on that day. This is an offer you can’t refuse. Every staff member (and spouse) who participates in this clinical testing program will receive a $25 VISA cash card, which is redeemable wherever VISA is accepted. But the real reason you should schedule yourself to be tested is that getting your Health Grades will empower you to take whatever action is necessary to improve those Grades – thereby increasing your life expectancy as well as the quality of that extended life. Not only is your participation critically important for you personally. It also has impact on our school. Our insurer will be calculating the percentage participation for each school. All the schools will then be rank ordered. I would very much like our school to be near the top of this list. This will demonstrate that all of us recognize the importance of knowing our risk factors, so that we can take steps to lower our risk and optimize our health. I want the bragging rights that will come with very high participation. Please help me get them. You will receive a cholesterol test, glucose test for diabetes, blood pressure evaluation, and some other valuable tests and measurements. Note that the cholesterol and glucose testing will not be performed by inserting a needle into your arm. It’s just a simple fingerstick, to get only a small drop of blood. The entire testing process will take only about 10 minutes. And it might be the most meaningful activity you engage in all year. To make your appointment, stop by my office within the next week, and have Sally put you on the schedule. Alternatively, you can go to www.MedivonHEALTH.com, to make your appointment over the Web. I strongly desire that each and every one of you Get Your Health Grades, so that my staff’s health status becomes all that it can be. If there’s a reason why you can’t or won’t participate, please let me know. Here’s to your health!

RISK

FACTORS

The more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance that person will have a heart attack or stroke. Some risk factors cannot be controlled, such as age, family history, ethnic heritage, and gender. But you can modify, treat, or control other risk factors to lower your overall risk of disease.

Please put an X in the box next to those that apply to you.

What Your Test Results Mean Total Cholesterol is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood at a given time. It is usually measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), and it’s an important factor in determining your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Generally, you should strive to keep this number below 200.

HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) is the so-called “good” cholesterol, because it helps to clear excess lipids from the arteries. The higher this number is, the better. For men, an HDL of at least 45 mg/dL or more is ideal and is considered a negative risk factor for disease. For women, it’s 55 mg/dL.

TC/HDL Ratio is more indicative of cardiovascular disease than total cholesterol (TC) alone. An acceptable ratio for men is below 5.0; for women it should be below 4.4.

Glucose is a measure of the sugar level in your blood. High glucose levels are often an indication of diabetes or pre-diabetes. Since fasting was not required for this test, above 140 but less than 199 is an indication of pre-diabetes; 200 and above might indicate diabetes.

Blood Pressure is an indication of how hard your heart and arteries must work to pump blood through your body. Systolic pressure (top number) is when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure (bottom number) is when the heart is at rest. Above 120/80 is an indication of pre-hypertension. Above 140/90 is an indication of hypertension.

Pulse is the throbbing of your arteries, a measure of your heartbeat in beats per minute (BPM). A normal pulse rate for a healthy adult, while resting, can range from 60 to 100 BPM, although well-conditioned athletes may have a healthy pulse rate lower than 60 BPM. Irregular Heartbeat means that there is something wrong with your heart’s electrical system, which controls the contractions that move blood through your body. This causes the heart to not beat in regular intervals. Sometimes these rhythm disorders are an indication of a serious problem. Sometimes they are harmless. A physician would make that determination.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation based upon a person’s weight and height. BMI values between 18.5 and 24.9 are considered “normal” or “healthy. Those above 25 are considered “unhealthy” and range from a classification of “overweight” to “extreme obesity.” People who fall in the unhealthy range are generally at a higher risk for multiple health problems.

Body Fat % is the percent of your body that is composed of fat. Serious health risks have been associated with both too much and too little body fat. The recommended range for men is 8-14%. Women need more fat than men, so their recommended range is 20-25%.

Waist Girth has been shown to be significantly correlated with the chance of getting heart disease. It is also one of the easiest risk factors for you to control. No more than 40 inches for males and no more than 35 inches for females is desirable.

Waist/Hip Ratio is even more highly related to the chance of having a heart attack or some other form of heart disease. An “apple” shape, where your waist is large compared to your hips, is unhealthy. A “pear” shape is healthier.

Green is in the healthy range. Red is needs attention. Orange is used if there’s an intermediate range.

Your heart must work harder when blood pressure rises. Systolic pressure (top number) is when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure (bottom number) is when the heart is at rest. Above 120//80 is an indication of pre-hypertension. Above 140/90 is an indication of hypertension.

Pulse is the throbbing of your arteries, a measure of your heartbeat in beats per minute (BPM). A normal pulse rate for a healthy adult, while resting, can range from 60 to 100 BPM, although well-conditioned athletes may have a healthy pulse rate lower than 60 BPM.

The waist-to-hip ratio is even more highly related to the chance of having a heart attack or having some other form of heart disease. Men should have a ratio below 0.90; women below 0.85. An “apple” shape, where your waist is large compared to your hips, is unhealthy. A “pear” shape is healthier.

The Framingham Heart Risk Score analyzes some of the data above to determine your risk of having a heart attack or other coronary death in the next 10 years. If your Score is less than 10%, you’re at Low Risk. If 10-20%, you’re at Moderate Risk. Above 20% is High Risk.
