This service is vital for the completion of an effective HRA program. If your Wellness program is administered properly, the test allows your employees to be as accurate with their personal profile as possible. At that time it will allow for the HRA assessment to be utilized accordingly and effectively.

Biometric Screening is done on site and could be a "finger stick" or a drawing of a vial of blood. As with any blood analysis, the most accurate is a result of a blood draw following a fasting period. A determination must be made prior to the screening as to which diseases we are trying to identify.

Benefits of Screening Many clients and vendors measure the success of onsite screening events by the number of participants. However, the real value of the program is the information received by the individuals who complete the HRA and the onsite biometric screening. Individuals who complete the screening receive a detailed report about their health status and the risks they may have. They also get a numeric score that tells them their overall level of health risk. "This score frames each participant's health risk in a succinct, exclamatory way that provides a baseline for improving health, and this is the most tangible benefit of the program," said Nathan King, Logistics Manager, "The best way to engage people in managing their own health is by defining where they stand, and the screening provides them with actionable insight into improving their health."

When employees know their risk levels and begin to address those risks, the employer reaps the value of the onsite screening through reduced claims costs. Clients also receive aggregate reports to enable them to help individuals in making these changes. Aggregate data can help employers identify risks within their populations, and even recognize different risks at different locations.
