The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) and the HCMS Group have announced an important expansion to their “Blueprint for Health” — a free internet-based calculating tool that helps employers better comprehend and analyze the impact of medical costs, absence, and work impairment among their employees. An understanding of the total costs of poor health and the benefits of good health can help employers of all sizes make better decisions that can improve the overall health of their employee population and the business performance of their companies.
Introduced in 2007, the Blueprint for Health (BFH) allows employers to enter their own original data into an on-line estimating tool and receive free information that calculates health and productivity impacts on their employees.
