Medical Director's Message Our mission at PHC is to help members achieve optimal health, and with it, optimal employer health plan outcomes. Optimal health is best achievable through a combination of effective actions, perhaps the most important of which is to lead a healthy lifestyle. PHC's population-based health management program (Preferred Wellness) is built upon a foundation of health care and health plan performance information. This information, coupled with PHC's clinical expertise, allows for clinical profiling and risk stratification of each member and employer group to assist in identifying targeted education and intervention opportunities necessary to improve outcomes.
The three fundamental building blocks to optimizing performance are:
- claims data that points to health care utilization trends for an individual and an overall employer population;
- health-risk assessment surveys as a member self-assessment tool helpful in identifying areas for an individual to focus upon for improving health awareness; and
- age appropriate clinical screenings that provide a clinical snapshot of the current health status of a member and employer group.
PHC has found when utilizing these analytical tools with our clients that nearly 50% of adults are found to have significant risk factors for disease. These findings allow PHC to provide you with actionable information that can be applied to improve both the individual member's health status and the employer's overall risk profile and health plan performance.
PHC - through its relationships with its providers, members, employers and payers - is in a unique position to support health and wellness activities. Let us know if we can help you!
