Right Integration
= Better Results

• Right mix of components (interventions)

• Right time and sequence — certain components before others

• Right integration and cross-reinforcement

• Right design and delivery — tailored by group-specific data, priorities, existing benefits and resources

• Right evaluation strategy and metrics

• Right budgets and funding

Proven Results

• Integrated Strategies can generate immediate results and cost-savings within 3-12 months with return-on-investment ratios ranging from 4:1 to >15:1 per year.

• Synergies of the integrated strategy components often yield greater control of health costs and other strategy successes than would be achievable through a single component (or intervention)

Customization Options

• Strategy design and implementation are customized to meet the needs of each organization

• Each Integrated Strategy is designed to reinforce EAP and other existing benefits offered through the employer, health plan or other key sources (e.g., community)

Targeted Support — High Priority Options

Shown above is an example of an integrated strategy surrounding employees and families with key high-priority support components.  
As such:

  • Each component helps to improve multiple goals shared by individuals, families, employer, health plan and providers
  • Most yield multiple measures of success within the 12-months of implementation
  • All high-priority components can be implemented in year 1 of the strategy
  • OR, one or more components can be staggered and implemented over 2-3 years
  • More components are considered beyond the initial priorities for unique needs, goals and subsequent years

Evolve and Adapt Your Strategy Each Year

Each year, HPN staff works together with leaders to review, adapt and strengthen the strategy based on changing needs, goals, priorities and capabilities.  Initial high-priority components (shown above) and appropriate others are considered for each year of the strategy.

Synergies of Integration

Research indicates that a wisely designed multi-component strategy (or support system) yields the best results. These types of strategies:

  • Include a strategic mix of programs, resources and other support tailored to best accomplish multiple goals as rapidly and cost-effectively as possible
  • Involve a long-range 3 - 5 year plan that strategically sequences components, expenses and results over one-year time-frames
  • Maximize the integration and cross-reinforcement of all new and improved strategy components with EAP and other existing benefits
  • Obtain better immediate and long-range results and returns — e.g., improvements in prevention, early detection, use and quality of health care, reduced rates of increase in health costs, absenteeism...
  • Capitalize on additional immediate savings and results through better integration, efficiencies and reduced cost-of-goods for needed health care
