Measurability

UHG offers a variety of tailored evaluation and reporting tools to assist decision makers in evaluating the benefits of a particular program or the results of a specific initiative.

Reasons for measuring a wellness initiative include:

• obtaining feedback so that programming efforts can be improved;
• demonstrating the value of a program;
• measuring change;
• securing continued funding;
• establishing accountability; and
• comparing the efficacy of different interventions.

There are a number of aspects of an initiative that can be assessed as part of the measurability and evaluation process:

• participation
• participant satisfaction
• changes in behaviour and health practices
• biometric measures
• productivity
• medical claims

Tools that can be utilised to assist in the measurability and evaluation process include:

• population analysis reports
• program registration sheets
• participant feedback surveys - mid and post
• HRA results, biometric testing and screening results
• service level agreements
