How the Wellness Program Works

Our unique approach begins by identifying the specific needs of your population and then developing data-driven strategies to meet those needs. We implement the most appropriate, cost-effective solutions, delivered through online, print and telephonic interventions.

The Health Portal is the centerpiece to the Wellness Solutions product. For clients, the Health Portal can be configured to provide benefits management, organization-specific announcements and other information. For participants, it features the Health and Productivity Assessment, health tools and resources, incentive tracking, and access to a tailored Action Plan with specific guidance on recommended online health programs to reduce key health risks.
We leverage an industry-proven methodology to develop, implement, track and measure a customized health improvement program for our clients. The key steps of the methodology are:

Strategy development – A senior strategist works with you during the initial development phase to analyze your benefits strategy, demographics, policies and claims experience. Based on this analysis, Alere creates a comprehensive strategy to achieve both short-term and long-term goals.

Program design – In the next stage, we design a customized program for your population.

Communication plan and strategy – Our creative services team develops customized print and online communications for the program launch and for the activities that are promoted throughout the year.

Individual/organizational health programs – Alere provides customized programs to meet the needs of your participants, as well as organizational programs for all members of your population.

Outcomes reporting – Alere provides a series of reports generated by Informatics that are managed and delivered by the designated wellness consultant.
