Data-Driven Wellness: Transforming Employee Benefits for Better Health
Employers can use data to turn their benefits program into a tool that supports their employees’ overall well-being.
That’s the mindset M3—and our Population Health & Wellbeing Manager, Tyler Stuntebeck—brings to benefits. We’re redefining traditional workplace wellness by blending data, AI-driven tools, and expert consulting to help our clients make a real impact with their benefits.
What Does a Population Health & Wellbeing Manager Do?
M3 was a pioneer in wellness programs when they first came on the scene, but we have always looked ahead of the curve, seeking out ways to better utilize these programs for improving employee wellbeing holistically while improving our clients’ health care costs.
Population health and wellbeing sits at the crossroads of an employer’s clinical data and workplace culture. It’s a blend of art and science—and for years, M3 has been helping our clients navigate these challenges and achieve their goals by leveraging both.
Tyler leverages advanced technology to consolidate diverse data sets—such as medical and pharmaceutical claims, along with social determinants of health—giving you a clear picture of your entire employee population’s health. From there, he provides tailored recommendations, strategies, and resources to help improve population health across the entire care continuum.
What is the Goal of a Population Health Strategy?
Population health consultation provides strategies for employers to affect behavior change in their employees that promote holistic wellbeing, subsequently driving down health care costs.
While many employers look at claims as a baseline, the population health perspective takes into consideration the barriers and challenges employees and their families are experiencing at a group level. This approach takes a much deeper dive into your data sets to provide you with customized advice that fits your employee population.
While M3’s data analytics and underwriting team uses data to inform how you can change your benefits and pharmacy programs, population health provides resources to change employee behaviors such as encouraging primary care appointments, complying with chronic condition plans, and more.
