Healthcare costs are soaring, often becoming the second highest expense for organizations after salaries. For employers focused on their teams’ health and well-being, the challenge is greater than ever. You need partners who bring value, help you trim excess cost and work with you to achieve your goals.
Enter Workforce Health Solutions from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, offering specialized and comprehensive wellness services for employers.
The program’s formula is simple: manage the health, and the sickness, of patients in the highest quality and most cost-efficient setting appropriate to their needs. This means focusing on wellness and prevention, identifying risks, appropriately managing chronic conditions and maximizing access to care.
Comprehensive Well-being Program
Many team members don’t have routine primary care visits and may have chronic illnesses that they aren’t aware of. Diagnosing those chronic conditions can be key to keeping team members healthy and over the course of time, decreasing the likelihood of needing a higher level of care, like emergency rooms and hospitals. Holding biometric screenings at an employer’s location can help detect those issues earlier, and help the employees develop a plan for addressing those challenges.
Tailored Health Assessments
When an organization enrolls in Workforce Health Solutions, their participating team members receive extensive, personalized health screenings that go beyond standard check-ups. This thorough approach ensures early detection and intervention, promoting long-term health and vitality.
“Our screenings are designed to identify unknown or emerging risks early,” says Laura Davis, vice president of Workforce Health Solutions for the health system. “We’re then able to get the team members on a health management path to avoid costs and increase productivity.”
Personalized Health Coaching
A key component of the well-being program is personalized health coaching, empowering participants to take control of their health. Experienced health coaches offer one-on-one support and tailored guidance, developing customized wellness plans that address specific needs and goals.
“From managing stress to treating chronic conditions and enhancing physical fitness, our health coaches provide strategies that fit seamlessly into busy team member lives,” Davis says. “This personalized approach ensures health recommendations are practical, achievable and sustainable.”
How We’re Different
Team members receive ongoing support and necessary follow-up to ensure they stay on track with their health goals. This proactive approach helps maintain the positive outcomes achieved during initial assessments and interventions.
The program’s other core features include musculoskeletal health services, executive health, occupational medicine, healthcare navigation, mental health support and integrated clinical services, with everything in a single medical record, helping manage the total cost of healthcare.
“Integrated care allows us a complete view into a team member’s health,” Davis said. “This enables our team to provide the most comprehensive care possible and treat the whole person, not just one concern.”
With the foundation of the health system’s network of employed providers located throughout Louisiana and Mississippi offering a wide range of medical specialties Workforce Health Solutions can ensure employees and their families will have access to the care they need, when they need it, in the most appropriate manner.
