Key Foundations

Whether supporting the needs of an employer for a worksite program, a state or federal agency seeking to provide services across a population, or an individual health consumer, U.S. Preventive Medicine® has a complete offering with a consistent experience and outcome – “More Good Years®.”  Our key foundations to developing a successful preventive offerings center on two concepts:
  • “Prevention for Everyone” provides a portfolio of services that offer customized solutions personalized for each individual’s specific health conditions and their willingness to engage in their health.
  • The “Ultimate Consumer Prevention Experience” is based on our recognition that the ultimate measure of success for any prevention program is the ability of the service to engage the end-user customer.  Rather than focus primarily on the cost dynamics of prevention, we focus on the consumer experience.
Products and Services

U.S. Preventive Medicine® has created a comprehensive solution based on the clinical practive of preventive medicine with primary, secondary (early detection) and tertiary (care management) prevention services that are relevant to customers needs and that deliver on the Company’s brand promise of “more good years.”  The products bring together best-of-breed technologies and tools that are independent of health plans, are portable, integrate physicians, and build a high-touch relationship that creates a 360° customer surround.

The foundation of this product mix is The Prevention Plan™.  The Prevention Plan™ is a proprietary web-enabled program that focuses one-on-one with each consumer and provides a custom health improvement plan.  Once the person’s health status is assessed through comprehensive blood work, vitals and a thorough health history, goals are established and innovative tools are provided to take the person step-by-step toward improved health. Each consumer has a custom home page for personal interactions that continually shows progress on the plan and actually provides a system of rewards for achieving wellness goals. Key features of The Prevention Plan™ include:

  • Affordable to employer, employee, consumer
  • Independent and portable (not tied to health plan)
  • Personal-high touch with RN coaching and physician review
  • Prevention Score tracks personal progress and health proactivity
  • Personal Health Record
  • Integrates with member’s health care insurance benefits
  • Gift rewards program for behavior modification

To meet the needs of the millions of consumers diagnosed with costly chronic diseases, we offer The Prevention Plan CM™ (Care Management), which offers disease management/preventive care business to other government agencies and private sector employers. The Prevention Plan CM™ allows an employer or government agency to stratify the health risks of an employee population and provide cost-saving, effective assistance to individuals with conditions in need of a more intensive care management intervention.  Significant health care dollars are saved and productivity improved when individual consumers are engaged across the total health care continuum and the medical conditions are stopped from progressing.

Definition of Prevention

Interestingly enough, the World Health Organization’s (WHO) definition of prevention -- drawn up in 1948 – matches exactly the description of services provided by U.S. Preventive Medicine:

Primary prevention includes a health risk assessment to determine wellness and risk status, as well as related activities such as exercise programs and annual influenza vaccinations that are designed to maintain a state of wellbeing or to reduce the risks that could progress to an illness or chronic condition. 

Secondary prevention addresses risk factors and signs of impending conditions to employ action plans  that promote behaviors and activities. Examples include a smoking cessation program for a smoker,  advanced education on a proper diet for a pre-diabetic, or behavior and/or drug intervention for someone with high cholesterol.

Tertiary prevention employs initiatives using evidence-based guidelines for management of chronic conditions for individuals with a known condition to prevent incapacity or recurrences.  Examples include adherence to prescribed medications for abnormal blood sugar and access to specialty care for critical intervention to ensure optimal quality of life.
