The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act revised the law related to workplace wellness programs, which have become part of the nation's broader health strategy. Health-contingent programs are required to be reasonably designed. However, the regulatory requirements are lax and might undermine program efficacy in terms of both health gains and financial return. I propose a method for the government to support a best-practices approach by considering an accreditation or certification process. Additionally I discuss the need for program evaluation and the potential for employers to be subject to litigation if programs are not carefully implemented.
《患者保护与平价医疗法案》修订了与职场健康计划相关的法律，这些计划已成为国家更广泛健康战略的一部分。与健康状况挂钩的计划必须设计合理。然而，监管要求宽松，可能会在健康收益和财务回报方面削弱计划的效果。我提出一种方法，即政府通过考虑认证或认可程序来支持采用最佳实践方法。此外，我还讨论了计划评估的必要性，以及如果计划实施不当雇主可能面临诉讼的可能性。
