Empower employees with the health insights that drive smarter decisions.
As care models evolve, so do the expectations of employees and the responsibilities of plan sponsors. Holistic and data-informed approaches are making it easier to detect risks earlier and empower people to take ownership of their health. But with innovation comes complexity—especially when it comes to measuring impact, allocating budget, and aligning with broader plan goals.
This session brings together Function’s diagnostic insight, Blue Raven’s actuarial modeling, and Nava’s advisory expertise to explore:
- What holistic and preventive care can look like when supported by diagnostics and personalized insights
- The challenges and methods of measuring ROI for early detection and whole-person care
- Why short-term increases in spend may still represent high-value outcomes over time
- Strategic considerations for launching pilots, evaluating vendors, and designing benefits with long-term value in mind
Walk away with a clearer understanding of how to approach holistic care in a way that supports your workforce, your financial goals, and the future of your benefits strategy.
