For more than a decade, WebMD Health Services has helped progressive organizations improve their population’s health and lower their healthcare costs. Along the way, we continue to adapt and apply what we’ve learned in the science of behavior change. Our whole-person approach goes beyond individual risks or conditions. We use measures of readiness-to-change and patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management, along with proven intervention techniques that support long-term health improvement.
We call it the Personal Path to Health
The Personal Path to Health is a multi-step, measurable approach to wellness, prevention, and health management. It works with individuals one-on-one to actively draw them through the process of improving their health and well-being.
Step 1: ASSESS
Comprehensively identifies each individual’s modifiable health risks, and prioritizes the risks and conditions that offer the greatest opportunity for change and financial impact.
Step 2: ENGAGE
Evaluates the individual’s level of engagement and identifies strategies, tactics, and channels to efficiently deliver health promotion messages and encourage response.
Step 3: CHANGE
Delivers personalized health management programs and resources that make it easy for individuals to participate in healthy behaviors.
Step 4: SUSTAIN
Encourages participants to maintain the positive lifestyle changes they have made and establishes a self-reinforcing feedback loop that promotes ongoing health improvement.
