We spend a lot of time and effort telling employees about health care. But how much of that effort is devoted to plan basics versus basic information that employees can use to improve their health? Employees need to know both things, but having information that actually improves their health is the ultimate goal, right?
Consumer Reports and the Choosing Wisely Campaign
To help with this, we found a reputable resource that provides information about health care, which you can share with your employees. Consumer Reports is supporting the Choosing Wisely campaign on their health site. This is information you can use, free of charge.
You’ll find summarized and simplified information prepared by Choosing Wisely. Access brochures, flyers and videos on topics, such as:
- When you might need antibiotics for sinusitis
- What imaging tests are available for lower back pain
- When you need a bone density test and when you don’t.
- How to treat heartburn and GERD
We all want employees to be healthier. And we want them to be smart consumers of health care, too. We know it’s not an easy transition, but by providing the right tools, we just might help employees take that first step.
