What's Next for Well-Being | Part 2: Integrating Well-Being into the Healthcare System

In the first of our four-part blog series, What’s Next for Well-Being?, we examined the economic consequences caused by well-being programs and the healthcare system operating in two largely disconnected silos. In today’s blog, we explore how to close the gap between these two “systems of care” to create a seamless and connected care experience.  

The Next Right Thing To Do 

Staying healthy is an ongoing process. It’s a lifelong journey in which various health issues—from losing weight and lowering blood pressure to handling a sore throat or a sports-related ankle injury—arise and then, hopefully, are resolved for each member. 

An effective well-being program will prioritize each member’s issues by their clinical importance and then provide a step-by-step journey that addresses each one. Such a program provides the resources, tools, information and incentives to meet each member wherever they are on their journey to greater well-being.  

But a truly effective well-being program should not stop there. It should also provide a seamless connection to the healthcare system whenever a person has a medical issue. It should facilitate care navigation, guiding members to the right care at the right time in the right place. This integration of well-being and healthcare is not just a trend but a necessary evolution in the healthcare industry. 

By helping members connect to and navigate the healthcare system, overcome barriers to care, and improve follow-up care, this kind of integrated well-being program significantly reduces the unnecessary costs we discussed in our first blog.
