Biometric screenings help clients proactively address the largest healthcare expenditures by enabling populations to know their numbers of key indicators. However, some of the most costly health conditions, including colorectal cancer, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, benefit from additional testing outside of traditional biometric screenings. Without more in-depth testing, these health conditions can go unnoticed until they become costlier to manage.
LetsGetChecked’s comprehensive care offering makes it easy to move from a once-a-year benefit to a comprehensive wellness strategy. Continue reading to learn how adding critical at-home healthcare solutions to your annual biometric screenings can help enable earlier detection, better population insights, and timely interventions.
The value of a biometric screening program
Biometric screening programs are a foundational element of any employee wellness program. They provide employees with valuable insight into key health indicators, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, and BMI, which can reveal early signs of chronic conditions before symptoms are apparent. Biometric screenings give employers an opportunity to engage employees in their health, promote preventive care, and identify at-risk individuals who may benefit from early intervention.
How preventive care solutions extend value beyond biometric screening
Beyond individual awareness, biometric screening programs also provide aggregate health insights that help employers understand the broader health risks within their workforce. This data can inform wellness program design and guide targeted health initiatives such as screening for other costly health conditions, including colorectal cancer, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
Expanding biometric screening programs to include additional preventive screenings can create a more continuous and complete picture of well-being and meaningfully improve health outcomes across employee populations.
Improve employee engagement
Adding supplementary screening programs to an existing biometric screening initiative is a strategic way to boost engagement and maximize the value of employee health touchpoints. When employees are already participating in biometric screenings, they’re in a health-focused mindset and more likely to agree to additional tests that can enable risk identification and aid in early detection.
Creating a comprehensive screening approach streamlines logistics and enhances convenience to help drive participation. This approach can not only increase screening uptake but also enable employers to support population health goals and strengthen the return on investment of wellness programs. By expanding what’s offered, organizations can deepen engagement, close gaps in care, and foster a culture of proactive health management.
Deliver better health outcomes
Expanding biometric screening programs to include additional preventive screenings can also improve health outcomes across employee populations. A comprehensive approach engages individuals more effectively by addressing multiple high-impact conditions in a simple and streamlined experience. This can enable earlier identification of chronic conditions and cancer risks that often go undetected until costly, late-stage intervention is necessary.
By capturing a broader set of clinical insights, employers can drive measurable improvements in engagement, care quality, and total cost of care. More data leads to more informed follow-up and decision-making to support high-risk individuals and guide employees to the right level of care at the right time. Adding targeted screening programs to a biometric screening program can create a proactive, population-level strategy that delivers long-term impact.
