Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review provides an evidence-based approach to improve health, reduce excessive medical costs, and optimize productivity for health care employees and their families. What opportunities and challenges are unique or specific to health care organizations particularly as aligned with value and competitive advantage in achieving the Quadruple Aim? RECENT FINDINGS: An integrated approach to improving health and performance is essential. The strategy includes the employer "environment" (broadly defined), health and medical care behaviors, care delivery modalities, benefits alignment, and a supportive, total health and productivity integrated data analytic capability. Epigenetics and lifestyle medicine represent a promising direction in accelerating the prevention, treatment, and reversal of common chronic disease. An integrated health and productivity approach, emerging science, and practices can accelerate health care systems' goal to improve employee health and organizational competitiveness. Additional published examples of health care specific employer experience will further advance refinement of existing models and tailoring to the medical care setting.
