St. Louis, MO – October 05, 2009 – The Center for Health Value Innovation (www.vbhealth.org), the nation’s premier information exchange for value-based design, today announced an alignment with the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM; www.acoem.org) and the Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI; www.ibiweb.org), creating a powerful triumvirate to better articulate the value of health and productivity management (HPM). Working together, these leading organizations will create standardized data and result metrics for value-based HPM and launch HPM Clinics designed to educate and inform insurance brokers and industry consultants on the opportunities to enhance employer competitiveness and health in the community, and concurrently bend cost trends.
“Now more than ever, we need to amplify the message that poor health adversely impacts the physical and financial health of a community, and identify options for improvement,” says Cyndy Nayer, president and CEO of the Center. “We anticipate that program participants will begin utilizing key value-based strategies for designing healthcare programs, including HPM modeling and finely honed measurement tools. As a result, compromised communities will begin to see improved health and a reduction in health cost trends.”
These organizational relationships further position the Center as a proving ground for innovative thinking, providing all stakeholders in the health care continuum a platform for fertilizing and implementing fresh ideas that advance individual health and contain costs.

The Center for Health Value Innovation has joined with ACOEM and IBI to produce the introductory webinar on health and productivity management and value-based designs. Dr. Ron Loeppke of the ACOEM, Dr. Jack Mahoney of the Center, and Cyndy Nayer, CEO of the Center, will provide an overview of key HPM concepts, tools and business case along with the fundamentals of VBD.
With the ongoing discussions in Washington on health care reform and the potential for legislation that may include tax credits to employers offering a health and wellness program, it is imperative that the broker/consultant community understand the basic tenets of health and productivity management (HPM), and value-based designs, and their impact on the workplace.
This webinar presents an overview of HPM, specific research studies detailing the impact of poor health on a company, an introduction to HPM modeling and measurement tools, and discussion of key strategies for brokers/consultants in designing value-based programs for improved health, health-related productivity, and financial trends. During the 60-minute webinar, you will gain an understanding of the business case for HPM, the fundamentals of value-based design, the conditions that drive full costs of illness, and some real-world examples of levers to improve health and economic outcomes.
Formal presentations will be followed by a 20-minute Q&A
When: Sept 16, 2009, noon ET
