Motivating Lifetime Change Fletcher Allen's customized approach elicits behavior change by helping employees find their own starting points to healthier lifestyles.  This motivational interviewing technique is helpful when working with a wide spectrum of populations and health issues. A Proven Approach to Lowering Health Benefit Costs In addition to early detection of cardiovascular risks, worksite health screenings are a low-cost, high-profile way to enlist employees in improving their own health. Some employees avoid preventative medical care and therefore miss the opportunity to address the behaviors that cause chronic illness; inactivity, obesity and tobacco use. Worksite screenings identify emplyees with these cardiovascular risks and have a registered nurse counsel the individual to identify opportunities for lifestyle change. This type of direct medical contact can successfully motivate employees to change their behavior. Worksite Health Screenings A 20 minute 1:1 encounter with an RN includes: One-to-one health coaching Written educational material Mini health questionnaire Finger stick total cholesterol, HDL, and glucose (non fasting) Blood pressure screening Height/Weight/BMI Appropriate referrals   Besides the goodwill generated by the employer's desire to support better employee health, the employer can also access the cumulative results of the group. While individual results are confidential  and protected, the results for the group can give important insight into the overall health status of the workforce. This allows employers to plan how to address the most compelling risks through directed health promotion programs and gives early warning of future claims costs, which can be important in professionally managing the health benefit program
