To develop a calculator that measures the potential cost impact of changes in health risks and presents results graphically.
Demographic and health risk data for Novartis employees were input into a calculator that estimated employer medical care, short-term disability, absenteeism, and presenteeism costs associated with risk prevalence, based on a previous cross-sectional analysis of the association between risks and costs. Estimated costs were presented as a relative score, the Novartis Health Index, which is a measure of the overall costs associated with the risk profile of a population of interest.
The population of Novartis employees had an index score of 81.5 (out of 100), indicating a relatively healthy risk profile, and baseline annual costs of $9619 per employee. Risk reduction of 1% and 10% for tobacco, alcohol use, and emotional health risks had the potential to generate annual savings of $91,500 and $915,000, respectively.
The Novartis Health Index framework allows employers to track performance relative to health risk management using a single, accessible, user-friendly measure.
开发一款计算器，用以衡量健康风险变化带来的潜在成本影响，并以图形方式呈现结果。
将诺华员工的人口统计学和健康风险数据输入到一个计算器中，该计算器根据之前对风险与成本之间关联的横断面分析，估算与风险流行率相关的雇主医疗保健、短期残疾、旷工和出勤成本。估算的成本以相对分数的形式呈现，即诺华健康指数，它是衡量与特定人群的风险状况相关的总体成本的指标。
诺华员工群体的指数评分为 81.5（满分 100），表明其风险状况相对健康，每位员工的基准年度成本为 9619 美元。降低 1%和 10%的烟草、酒精使用和情绪健康风险，分别有可能产生每年 91500 美元和 915000 美元的储蓄。
诺华健康指数框架使雇主能够使用单一、可访问、用户友好的指标来跟踪相对于健康风险管理的绩效。
