Carewise Health Launches New Streamlined Personal Health Assessment for the iPhone to Improve the Member Experience

October 01, 2013
 

Carewise Health, Inc. announced today the launch of its new Personal Health Assessment (PHA). The easy-to-take PHA, available to clients and members via an iPhone mobile app as well as online beginning today, is shorter than its predecessor – requiring less than 10 minutes for members to complete. Despite its shorter length, the PHA still captures all the necessary data that Carewise Health's analytical and clinical health teams need to identify and approach at-risk members who would benefit from working with a health coach and participating in the company's comprehensive suite of health and wellness solutions. Available for the first time as a mobile phone app, users can search "Carewise PHA" in the App Store to download and complete the PHA as often as they want, anytime and anywhere they have mobile access, to monitor their progress over time. The online version continues to be offered through Carewise Health's secure member health portal. "We're continually striving to improve our member's experience with our programs and services. Our streamlined mobile version of the PHA and its easy-to-read follow-up health report is a reflection of those efforts," said Jerry Kreisler, President and COO of Carewise Health. "Our clients expressed interest in making the PHA more convenient and easier for their employees to complete. This new version is in direct response to listening to what our clients have been asking of us and the industry." In conjunction with the shorter PHA, Carewise Health also revised the health report users receive immediately upon completing the PHA. Members get a personalized, action-focused report that provides a real-time health status and suggested next steps for achieving health-related goals that matter most to them. Carewise Health specializes in employee health solutions; it helps organizations improve the personal health of its members and control healthcare costs through a comprehensive suite of health and wellness programs. Companies who want to learn more about Carewise Health's new PHA or its other health and wellness solutions can call 1-888-929-4584 to speak with a Carewise Health representative.
