Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c32756) has announced the addition of Mining Health Risk Assessments for Richer ROI and Results to their offering.

A powerful component of a health plan's disease management toolkit is the Health Risk Assessment (HRA), which evaluates the population's health status and targets actionable programs to address identified risks. Implementing effective HRAs and mining the resulting data is a strategic means of harnessing healthcare costs and promoting consumer awareness.

In this special report, Mining Health Risk Assessments for Richer ROI and Results, our expert panelists explore the progressive evolution of HRAs. Gregg Lehman, PhD, president and chief executive officer, Gordian Health Solutions, Marlene Sigwalt, RN, MSPH, clinical consultant, Innovation Center, Humana, Inc., and Yan Zhang, research scientist, Humana, Inc. provide procedures, objectives, predictive capacities, consumer engagement strategies and results of these tactical questionnaires to identify risk before it becomes reality.

You'll also get case studies on the HRA programs at HealthAtoZ, Blue Shield of California and Aetna.

-- Evolutions in the HRA market;

-- Risk stratification in the HRA;

-- Ideas to Incent HRA participation;
