Population Health Management
Healthy teams make heathy organizations.
Healthy teams make heathy organizations.
A well-designed worksite wellness program does more than improve the health of your employees. It enhances morale, improves productivity, boosts organizational performance, supports recruitment and retention and contains costs—but only if the program is customized to meet the needs and interests of your employees and address the goals of your company.
Together, we develop a winning strategy that goes beyond employee health to inspire a high-performing workforce.
Our authentic and transparent approach to employee benefits is designed to put people at the center of everything we do. Our health and welfare insurance specialists take the time to get to know your unique needs so we present options that make sense for your group.
And we don’t stop there.
Once we help implement your plan, we deliver year-round value with our Day Two Services® that empower you with resources to educate your employees, administer your plans and maintain compliance. We’re more than your employee benefits broker, we’re an extension of our HR team.
By taking care of your employees, you can rest easy knowing they’re doing the same for your organization.
Because when you lead with values, value leads.

Designing and implementing a wellness program that addresses your employees’ health care concerns and encourages engagement can seem overwhelming. Not with Higginbotham on your side. Our population health management consultants are ready to help you turn obstacles into opportunities.
Our population health management consultants focus on five proven principles:
A population health management program goes from good to great when it takes into account the overall well-being of your employees, their current risks and their work environment. A strategic and cultural analysis paired with a claims review helps identify workforce issues and needs that can be targeted with the right solutions. This assessment provides a solid foundation for program development, implementation, facilitation and evaluation.
Senior leadership support is crucial to the success of a population health management program. Employers who serve as a role-model
and integrate well-being into the business strategy create a culture where healthy lifestyles are valued, promoted and incentivized.
A holistic approach to population health considers your employees’ work-life balance, existing resources, potential solutions and focuses on the specific health risk factors affecting them to create awareness. A comprehensive program may focus on many pillars of well-being, including social, mental, physical, spiritual, occupational, intellectual, environmental and financial wellness.
A careful evaluation of health improvement solutions is important to keep employees informed and engaged. Resources may be provided through our Population Health Management department, the community, a medical carrier or a vendor partner to encourage employees to make more informed health care decisions, take steps toward sustainable lifestyle changes and take ownership of their individual well-being.
Setting tangible goals and analyzing aggregated data gives us powerful information to see what initiatives are working and what needs attention. Baseline measurements for success may include medical and pharmacy utilization, medical claims costs, employee engagement and participation and overall employee satisfaction.
Guided by the five principles, we design your population health management program based on your company culture, demographics, work environment and employee needs. We take into account medical and pharmacy data from your health insurance carrier, existing resources, survey responses and all other sources of information available to us.
