Allostatix Webinar Discusses How Employers Can Predict Future Employee Wellness, Control Healthcare Benefit Costs
CINCINNATI July 23, 2008 Health informatics firm Allostatix LLC will host a webinar titled
Predicting Future Wellness: Improving Employee Health and Cost Savings, on Wednesday, July 30 at 1-2 p.m. Eastern time.
A healthy workforce benefits employers with decreased absenteeism; happier, more productive employees; and better control over rising healthcare benefits costs. Yet most existing health risk assessments miss a critical segment of the employee population those without visible indicators of illness who are on a negative health trajectory by their reaction to accumulating stress.
Gordon Horwitz, founder and chief executive officer of Cincinnati startup Allostatix, LLC, will discuss how this accumulated stress a person's allostatic load is a reliable predictor of health problems in the near future.
"The common assumption is that employees with normal test levels and negative medical history are therefore "healthy" and "low-risk," said Horwitz. "However, testing for the allostatic load provides a picture of "whole body health" a much more accurate approach than self-reported health behaviors or isolated tests that do not provide a comprehensive picture of health."
This webinar examines how the daily stresses of life can build up over time and lead to expensive medical problems, and how a new test can actually predict future health status with over 80 percent accuracy. Participants will learn:
The concept and background of allostatic load
How stress affects overall health
What most health risk assessments miss
How predicting wellness can save an organization money
