Biometrics Screening

Biometric Screening Clinics

Biometric screenings are a great tool for identifying employees at risk for chronic disease. We know that you and your employees are busy, and because of that, it can be difficult to make appointments with primary care providers (PCPs) without losing time on the clock. Another factor facing everyone in rural areas is the limited access to healthcare providers. These issues can create barriers to your employees seeking checkups with their PCPs, and as a result many potential health risks go undiscovered.

Wellness Works can help. We will come to your facility to conduct the following health screening for your employees:

Why choose us?

Unlike other companies, we utilize nurses who are able to interpret lab results and respond immediately if an urgent health concern is identified. After the event you will receive a HIPAA compliant aggregate data report of the results, which allows us to structure health education to the greatest health risks your employees are facing. We are also able to offer Nurse Health Coaching to ensure that the results your employee receives during their screening don’t go unaddressed.

 

combining Biometric screenings with Nurse Health Coaching

Biometric screenings are a useful tool at assessing an employee’s risk for chronic health issues, but research shows that fewer than half of employees with abnormal biometric screening results will follow up with their PCP to share their results. Studies show that participating in health coaching after a biometrics screening resulted in employees who were:

  • 45% more likely to lower cholesterol levels

  • 30% more likely to lower blood glucose levels

  • 6x more likely to meet achieve a healthy BMI

  • 5x more likely to lower their blood pressure

Another study noted that of employees who have access to health program through their employer:

  • 67% said they lost weight

  • 56% reported fewer sick days

  • 88% said they were motivated to pay more attention to their health

It was also found that utilization of health coaches lowered insurance premiums by $360/employee, lowering total medical costs by 10%. Employees with chronic conditions such as diabetes saw an even greater average decrease in medical costs, around 13%. These cost savings positively impacted employee and employee alike.
