Live Broadcast: 7 Steps to Building a Culture of Health

Date/Time: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 at 2:00PM EST A healthcare benefit approach that relies primarily on providing medical services after an employee gets sick is a failed strategy. Enlightened employers strive to help workers and their families improve their health, and then remain healthy. Join Ray Fabius, Chief Medical Officer for the Healthcare & Science business of Thomson Reuters and a member of the Change Agent Work Group (CAWG), and other CAWG industry experts to learn about the Employer Health Asset Management roadmap. This report was created by the CAWG, a group of industry thought leaders and influencers working in collaboration to accelerate improvement in American workforce health and productivity. This live video broadcast will provide practical guidance for introducing cost-effective employee health programs and creating a culture of health. The roadmap involves seven main elements requiring involvement and accountability from both employers and workers:

• Organizational vision of health
• Senior management participation and commitment
• Workplace policies and the work environment
• Diagnostics, informatics and health metrics
• Health goals and program elements
• Value-based benefit design, and
• Patient-centered medical home and chronic care management

Listen in on this important conversation and discover how your organization can benefit from the work of these visionaries in American healthcare management.
