How "FIT" Are Your Health Management Efforts?

Fact-based. Are benefit decisions driven by data? Is there a clear understanding of the needs and interests of all stakeholders?

Integrated. Are benefit decisions integrated within your organization's health management strategy and business operations? Are key stakeholders aligned?

Targeted. Based on appropriate data, what health/disease-management needs exist and provide the greatest opportunities for realizing total value?

The Value of Integrated Data in Guiding Health Management Decisions

Within the FIT Design model, the appropriate collection and integration of health- and productivity-related data are critical in making value-based benefit decisions.

  • Data integration is the preferred standard. When used appropriately, it can guide value-based decisions.
  • When health and productivity data are integrated, it becomes multidimensional. It is not focused on medical costs alone.
  • Data must be compared to established benchmarks and norms (value-markers). It must assess utilization and associated costs. It must assess the total value provided by sponsored initiatives.
  • Integrating health- and productivity-related data provides the opportunity to assess potential barriers to evidence-based treatment(s).
  • Integration allows organizations to better target their investments in health benefit areas that have the greatest potential for realizing total value and alignment with business goals.
