Healthcare DIVE May 27, 2020
Dive Brief:
- A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine found an employer wellness program did not improve workers’ health, adding more evidence to the pile that such programs don’t actually move the needle on employee health.
- This survey conducted by researchers with the University of Illinois, University of Chicago, Stanford University, the National Bureau of Economic Research and the Department of Veterans Affairs, examined the impact of an employee wellness program on more than 4,800 workers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign between August 2016 and April 2018.
- Participants said they believed they were healthier and were also more likely to have a primary care physician. However, there was no concrete data that their health had improved.
