A biometric screening program is a great way for organizations to manage the health risks of their workforce, offering insight into key health indicators and enabling employees to take a proactive and preventive approach to managing their health. Incorporating this solution into a wellness program can help minimize healthcare costs, increase workforce productivity, reduce absenteeism, and reduce chronic health conditions.
However, with many traditional biometric screening programs facing dismal participation rates, it’s crucial to reimagine them and empower employees to engage in care from anywhere. Here’s more about LetsGetChecked’s multi-modal biometric solution and how we can help engage entire workforces by giving them the power to choose how they participate in screening.
Why biometric screening programs are important
Many people are unaware of their health risks because they either avoid or lack access to preventive checkups and screenings. This can adversely impact an organization’s healthcare-related costs and employee productivity.
Fortunately, biometric screenings are a simple and easy way to provide employees with insight into their current health status and risk of future health conditions. This wellness solution can identify common risk factors tied to some of the most prevalent modifiable risks that individuals can address through lifestyle changes.
Understanding and awareness of health risks can help individuals make more informed healthcare decisions and take steps toward improved health. Organizations can use these health insights to identify risks and adjust their wellness strategies to improve population health.
Designing an accessible biometric screening program
Access to biometric screenings is a main contributor to a lack of participation in these programs. Although biometric screenings are assets to population health management, getting a diverse and dispersed workforce to engage in screening is challenging.
This makes it necessary to rethink how biometric screenings are provided. To promote high engagement rates, employers should design a biometric screening program to meet the demands of today’s hybrid workforce. Flexible options that ensure employees can easily access screening services and have the chance to participate are crucial.
Types of biometric screening modalities
Leveraging a multi-modal biometric screening program can enable organizations to meet employees where they are, increasing screening engagement and providing a seamless patient experience. This screening solution puts individuals in control of their health, freeing them from time and location restrictions.
LetsGetChecked’s biometric screening solution gives individuals full control over their screening experience by allowing them to log on to their LetsGetChecked dashboard and choose the screening experience that works best for them. Individuals can choose from one of our three screening modalities:
- Home sample collection
- Onsite biometric screening
- Physician forms
Home sample collection
Employees can choose to engage in biometric screening through LetsGetChecked’s at-home collection kits. Home sample collection provides a discreet and convenient biometric screening experience that allows your people to collect their samples from wherever they are.
Our easy-to-use home sample collection kits have printed and video instructions available and can also include blood pressure cuffs and tape measures. Clinical support and fast results ensure a frictionless experience.
Onsite biometric screening
Organizations can choose to offer onsite biometric screening events at one or multiple locations. Employees can sign up for their screening slot through our easy-to-use scheduling portal.
Our team of experts will work with you to deploy event reminders, staff the event, and provide patients with results onsite. All results will surface in the portal ~2-5 days after the onsite event, and clients will receive event reporting and feedback forms.
Physician forms
LetsGetChecked’s physician forms are another option for employees who would rather visit their primary care physician for their biometric screening. We can provide downloadable physician forms for your population to bring to their own provider.
Employees can download a physician form from their portal and bring it to their primary care physician to complete on their behalf. After completing the screening with their physician, patients can upload the form to their portal, and screening results will be available from their LetsGetChecked account.
