2025 Imagine - T75 - Commitment to Wellbeing Elevates Employee Engagement, Fuels Financial Performance - On Demand

Overview: Baptist Memorial Healthcare launched a holistic wellbeing program over seven years ago targeting a triple aim: measurably improve the overall wellbeing of our self-insured health plan members, launch a longitudinal research study to measure results and integrate the program into our primary care physician practice to find a medical home for our members. A core leadership team oversees and operationalizes the program. Our measurable and significant outcomes and long-term commitment to employee wellbeing led to increased engagement and culture and decreased health plan costs. We have monthly, quarterly and annual reporting on medical claim and pharmacy spend to measure our outcomes. We also have annual clinical biometric data and subjectively reported individual assessment data.
