Connex Staff |June 1st
Wednesday | 1:00 PM ET
For many employers, COVID has completely altered traditional best practices for employee health management. Employees, especially those with chronic conditions, oftentimes can’t risk regular in-person appointments and are increasingly isolated from their caregivers, making destructive routines and behavioral lapses more likely. Fortunately, telehealth, two-way communication tools, on-demand clinicians, and remote monitoring have never been more accessible. In this context, it is critical that HR and Benefits leaders are prioritize access to remote care, both for non-emergency checkups and mental health support.
This Session will Examine:
-
Innovative or emerging methods for keeping remote employees healthy: e.g. adapting healthcare technologies for the HR space, direct collaboration with health plans and providers
-
Developing holistic, highly scalable wellbeing programs that incorporate clinically valid mental health assessments, chronic condition management, and access to providers
-
Creating peer networks and social connections to reduce feelings of isolation
-
Strategies for evaluating the impact of reduced access on employee health outcomes, and preparing for the impact on healthcare spend
-
Understanding the fundamental changes to the employer-healthcare-employee dynamic that the pandemic has necessitated – and what may be coming next
