Outline

You work for a health maintenance organization and one of the companies that your HMO has a contract with contacts you about a growing expense they believe you can help them with. The company is a large successful energy company in Houston with a high employee retention rate. While they are proud to say their employees are dedicated to the company and remain with them for years, they have had to pay greater fees for employee medications, particularly for treating high cholesterol and hypertension. They would like you to develop a worksite wellness program to improve their employees’ health status and reduce their need for medication to treat high cholesterol and hypertension specifically. They ask you to develop a proposal before they provide funding for the project.

* Outline a plan for evaluating outcomes of the proposed program. What are the measures you would use to evaluate whether your program was achieving the stated goals and objectives? What types of process outcomes would you look at to determine whether the program was being delivered as you intended?
