2020 DMEC Virtual Annual Conference: Breaking Down Silos and Harnessing the Powers of Integrated Health & Productivity Data - COVID-19 and Beyond

COVID-19 has raised the awareness of how swiftly things can change and how the ability to capitalize quickly on data can enhance decision making. In our fast-paced, high-performance work environments, employers are searching for strategies to increase employee productivity, and although most research reflects a strong correlation between health and productivity, many large organizations continue to manage their workforce’s health and productivity separately.

Employers leverage health data to understand aggregate healthcare costs, as well as absence data for operations and compliance purposes. But what if we could break down departmental silos, obtain and integrate relevant health, absence, and productivity data, and interpret it to measure health’s impact on productivity? This session will discuss the business case for integration, identify barriers and opportunities to effectively arrive at the intersection of health and productivity, and provide tools to help you measure and improve outcomes.
