Before implementing a health risk appraisal (HRA) program, you need to consider several things. Do not forget, that you can also seek assistance from a wellness consultant for additional advice and recommendations.
Health risk appraisal (HRA) reports vary in the format in which feedback is provided. Options generally available include internet-based reports, mailed printed reports, and instant computer based health risk reports.
Select a health risk reporting structure that’s best suited for your specific employee population. Make certain that the information is totally confidential and be sure to remove any chances of another person seeing individual data. This is critical for all wellness programs for both legal and employee morale reasons.
We recommend that you select a health risk appraisal provider that also provides health education and support like health and wellness coaching, health and wellness newsletters, wellness presentations, and behavior modification / behavior change programs in conjunction with the health risk appraisal. This will ensure continuity of information provided to your wellness program.
