Goodwill’s 6 year Journey Reaps Decline in Medical Spend

Lisa Allen, Goodwill Industries of Central and Southern Indiana, and Mary Delaney, LHD Benefit Advisors will provide a 6-year retrospective look of the process that Goodwill Industries undertook to change their health plan performance. The results have provided a 21% decline in medical spend, improved health outcomes and strong engagement with minimal extrinsic incentives.  Goodwill will share their unique approach utilizing top tier network primary care, targeted resources onsite and strategic performance goals that have provided cost efficient and effective access to medical care.

The discussion will allow participants to:

·        Understand the use of population health data in strategic planning related to employee health and healthcare spend management.

·        Understand how qualitative and quantitative data is used to illustrate program goals and impact in a format the C-Suite will understand and respect.

·        Develop a cost benefit analysis, organizational metrics and key performance indicators to inform and direct business decisions.

·        Consider an ongoing, never ending, analysis of the next best resources to connect to continue to drive best outcomes 

·        Learn from Goodwill’s experience both in successes and failed attempts

She joined Goodwill in 2010 as director of benefits, after serving for more than 10 years in human resources and healthcare. In her duties, Allen oversees Goodwill’s compensation, benefits and wellness programs.
