Comment [NE2]: We will be sending sign up sheet to employees plus I will physically visit each department to explain the screening and get sign ups.

Comment [NE1]: Lab requirments will be added by Justine when is back from her vacation. PBS: NOTED Comment [NE4]: This is for the manual HRA. I am afraid employees will get confused by those two scentences. Can we say your results will be analyzed by CWS and a complete health report will be generated? PBS: I cant say we will analyze the data at this juncture as this is not the case. I think the word UPLOAD describes what will happen more appropriately and I have reworked the sentences.

My doctor looks after me, why do I need to do this?

The HRA can help you take responsibility for your own health through changes in lifestyle that are under your control such as maintaining a healthy weight, healthy eating, getting enough exercise, quitting smoking,reducing stress and maintaining good mental health.The HRA creates an awareness of health risks that needs your attention. Research has shown that the combination of physical inactivity, excess body weight and an unhealthy diet make you more likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Prevention is the key to good health. Finding a way to reduce risk factors by incorporating good health practices into busy lives will reduce your chance of getting chronic diseases such as those listed above. The HRA does not interfere with your doctors care, if anything it compliments it.

Health age and potential health age (versus your actual age) Priority health recommendations Current fitness and nutrition needs Heart health evaluation Next steps, recommendations and actions based on individual needs; the recommendations are based on scientifically valid research studies and published research by leading health organizations.

Are my results confidential?

How do I find out My individual HRA results?

HRA results will be mailed to you by CWS. Aggregate results for the workplace are reported at group presentations. All information collected is presented in such a way that no one individual can be identified.

Comment [NE5]: I do not think this can be applied here. I can report the aggregate results through newsletters and HR announcements. PBS: There will be aggregate reports and presentations prepared for Senior Management, participants, etc. The report presentations will be carried out by either Dr.Wells, Corporate Medical Director Apache Corporation or Dr.Makrides, possibly live or via webinar. There are intentions to report results via other platforms as well and to the best of my knowledge will be agreed by the global wellness team and communicated to each site accordingly.
