The Prevention Plan(TM) is a health improvement program developed by U.S.Preventive Medicine(R) to discover and personally address each member's tophealth risks. It is available directly to consumers online and throughemployers, making it the first ever benefit for prevention.
Members receive an assessment of their health status through comprehensiveblood work, biometrics, health history and a physician review. Interventionsto tackle those immediate and future health risks begin with a confidentialwebsite where the member receives a customized program, alerts about neededscreenings and exams, a listing of employer prevention benefits, tutorialprograms, Personal Health Records and other tools.
RN advocates work closely with the member to establish, track and meetpractical health goals as well as help navigate through the confusing healthcare maze. Incentives and contests also are incorporated for furthermotivation. The website becomes the member's central depository of medicalinformation year after year, even if insurance or employers change. Employersreceive detailed management reports with aggregate data so they know their ownrisks, how to specifically address those risks and the results of ThePrevention Plan(TM).
"We have some highly sophisticated clients who are providing this to theiremployees and they tell us there is nothing like this in the marketplace,"said Goldstein. "Other programs have some of these components, but we are theonly one to put all the pieces together in one place and then deliver it in ahighly secure environment."
The Health 2.0 conference is being held October 22 and 23 in SanFrancisco.
