Health Care Consulting Services
Health Promotion Solutions is dedicated to meeting the specific needs of our clients while keeping your budget in mind. Let us put our expertise to work in designing a customized program that addresses your Health Promotion goals and metrics for success. We have a network of award-winning consultants with decades of experience in the following areas:
Health Coaching and Lifestyle Management
Health Coaching provides personalized health education, support and encouragement to successfully engage individuals to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, which can reduce their risk for chronic disease or effectively manage their chronic conditions.
Health Promotion Solutions designs customized health coaching programs to help individuals manage their own health. Individuals set goals and manage their health by eating healthier, quitting tobacco, increasing their activity levels, and managing stress.
Fitness Consulting Services
Our nation’s population is, in large measure, inactive, unfit, and increasingly overweight. Physical inactivity threatens to reverse the decades-long progress in reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases. Ultimately this could have a devastating impact on our national health care budget. Physical fitness can prevent or treat many chronic health conditions brought on by unhealthy lifestyle or aging.
We can help design and implement a customized fitness program for your organization. Through the design of workshops focused on fitness alternatives, customized physical activity incentive-based programs, fitness campaigns and online fitness instruction, we motivate your entire organization to get and stay active.
Health Care Management
Health Care Management helps people achieve optimal health and productivity. Through improved employee health management, individuals and employers can reduce healthcare costs, effectively manage chronic health conditions, and improve health and work performance.
Working with various organizational types, HPS helps to manage the health and human performance (productivity) of employees and seeks solutions to rising healthcare costs.
Our programs support health plans to align with the overall health management strategy. For example, implementing a high-deductible/Health Savings Account (HSA) plan may encourage more price and quality sensitivity on the part of the employee, while allowing them to be in control of where their healthcare dollars are spent.
Thanks to an application that is changing how healthcare management is coordinated, we build an information infrastructure that supports patient-centered care coordination, clinical integration, and acts as an independent auditor of health and productivity management programs to ensure optimal outcomes. Clients typically receive results that exceed return on investment (ROI) and return on outcomes (ROO) expectations.
Risk Assessments and Biometric Screenings
A Biometric Health Screening is critical to the success of any Health Promotion campaign. Objective clinical data provide the most accurate predictions of individual health risks and help organizations prioritize their health promotion efforts. Onsite biometric screening tests – including a lipid profile, blood pressure, body mass index, and other tests – help to identify a person’s risk of having or developing a chronic disease or condition. Health screening events are conducted in a variety of settings, including worksites, in retail settings, at health fairs, or other public venues. Biometric testing is usually combined with a health risk assessment tool and health education to help participants understand their results and motivate them to behavioral change.
Nutrition
Poor nutrition can have a significant impact on health, causing a variety of health-threatening conditions, including obesity and metabolic syndrome, and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Medical nutrition therapy provided by registered dietitians has been documented to lower healthcare costs for individuals and companies.
We also offer nutrition education design services for corporate nutrition and wellness programs involving individual and group counseling with dieticians and certified medical nutrition therapists. Our consulting team consists of nutrition and culinary experts, translating the science of nutrition into practical solutions for your organization. We can help design the following:
- Individual nutrition coaching programs which can focus on obesity and the prevention or treatment of chronic disease.
- Member workshops that focus on a variety of specific concerns, including:
- Weight management
- Low-sodium, Low-carbohydrate
- Lifestyle and Metabolic Syndrome prevention
- Cooking demonstrations for members who are interested in healthy meal preparation.
- Organizational workshops specifically tailored for food-service vendors to promote healthy menu selections and nutrient education for employees.
Through the design of effective nutrition education and counseling, many organizations can make strides to take control of their members’ health to prevent chronic disease.
Health Promotion and Marketing Support
With healthcare costs skyrocketing, many organizations are looking for proven marketing approaches to encourage their members to take better care of themselves and their health. It has been established that wellness programs can reduce absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, and increase productivity, but sometimes getting individuals engaged about participating in such programs can be a challenge. In addition, how to effectively implement incentives can be critical to motivate behavioral change and enrollment in worksite wellness programs.

Employee Health Data Management Program
The results of any health promotion program lose significance if they are not measured, analyzed, and communicated to payers properly.
Our comprehensive data analysis software applications generate HIPAA-compliant, de-identified reports to identify trends and predict outcomes for participant groups. Individual, personalized predictive models can also inform participants of their chronic health risks and provide insight into the modifiable behaviors that can be altered to reduce their risk.
Health Promotion Solutions has a portfolio of unique services and tools to support effective employee health data management and health outcomes. Using best-in-class applications, we integrate data from various service providers to generate comprehensive data reporting that portrays an overall healthcare picture. By identifying risks among populations, we can pinpoint areas to address to maximize cost savings. Longitudinal reports show changes and trends across populations, allowing for program customization to increase ROI.
We also provide electronic personal health record (PHR) storage. A PHR provides a complete and accurate summary of the health and medical history of an individual by compiling data from multiple sources. This PHR information is encrypted and stored on our HIPAA-compliant server, and is accessible only to authorized individuals. Maintaining a current, accessible PHE can help improve the quality of care a patient receives by reducing or eliminating duplicate tests and allowing patients to receive faster, safer treatment and care in an emergency.
