To suspend or decrease the rising costs of healthcare premiums paid by state government. To improve our risk as a group and attract additional health care companies. Use of a scientific web-based interactive program with one-on-one telephone health education mentoring using behavior change techniques. A 12-month comprehensive program that includes: exercise training, proper nutrition, weight management, stress management, and smoking cessation.
Initial Health History Questionnaire (HHQ) Creation of short and long-term goals Individualized action plan One-on-one telephone mentoring Web-based health educational modules and audios Ongoing support through e-mail and telephone Strict tracking adherence 12-week and 1-year follow-up evaluations with physician-based clinical assessments Cash incentives offered through state agencies choosing one of the following incentive programs: Gold $500 Silver $300 Bronze $100 A waived visit to Primary Care Physician with waived lab work for fasting lipid profile and fasting glucose Discount to fitness center membership
Participants are evaluated on clinical effectiveness at baseline, at 12-weeks, and at 1-year. Participants are referred to their personal physician for: fasting lipid profile fasting glucose blood pressure resting pulse rate height and weight measurements hip and waist measurements Participants that are directed back to their PCP at 12-weeks and at 1-year incur some costs.

OK Health participants significantly decreased their cardiovascular risk during one year in the program. Participants utilized more pharmacy claims due to more appropriate medication use and enhanced compliance. Savings from medical utilization will need data analysis for greater than two years. Our goal as a mentor is to help prevent or manage CVD and other chronic diseases. By partnering with participants in setting goals and integrating healthy lifestyles, participants can achieve optimal health and well-being.
