White paper report defines the true cost of poor health to business

ROCHESTER, Minn.

Researchers have established a direct link between health care costs and individual health risk. This gives organizations a compelling business reason to control health care costs through health and productivity management programs. A new white paper report from Mayo Clinic Health Solutions titled “The True Cost of Poor Health” outlines this business case for population health management.  

The report enumerates the full list of health-related costs associated with unhealthy employees inclusive of both direct and indirect health expenses, citing research and Mayo Clinic book of business data on risk prevalence and how risk impacts costs. The report demonstrates the opportunity that exists to impact costs by helping people maintain healthy behaviors, modify high-risk behaviors and control chronic conditions, and describes key elements of a successful campaign to lower population health risks.

For organizations looking for support in making the financial case for health and productivity management to CEOs and CFOs, this new report is a must have.
