EHS Health Assessment & Health Action Plan Report CY 2017
The (EHS) Health Action Plan initiative targets the key health risks identified through the 8-15-80 model by engaging employees to change their own healthcare story. (EHS) identified the most prevalent of the health risks amongst our population through Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and used that data to build Health Action Plans. Our 2017 Health Action Plans addressed inadequate sleep, increasing energy, stress, weight management, physical inactivity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, managing and preventing diabetes, managing low back pain, allergies & asthma, digestive health, tobacco use, and living well or maintaining low risk for those individuals who do not have a chronic condition to manage. These plans connect employees with our onsite registered dietitians, fitness professionals, health coaches, physical therapists and physicians as appropriate. In addition to addressing the physical aspects of health, the plans also emphasized pre/post-assessments to encourage building behavioral and emotional skills that promote health and facilitate lifestyle changes over a minimum of three months - just one risk reduction or behavior change to make an impact on their Division as well as Sandia's overall risk levels and ultimately healthcare costs.
