Health Maintenance and Prevention services ensure the accurate identification of employees who require interventions and the long-term overall health of the population.

Chronic Condition and Health Risk Identification:  Marathon Health uses data mining, biometric screening, and HRA data to identify individuals who are at risk or have chronic conditions. Multiple risk factors are identified including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high blood sugar, and obesity. Chronic conditions are identified including diabetes, heart disease, pulmonary disease, and asthma.

Population Stratification: Based on the data collected during the health assessment and screening process, Marathon Health creates a company health risk profile. The risk profile identifies prevalence rates for risk factors and chronic conditions compared to background rates found in the general population.  Participants are triaged based on the data and clinicians proactively reach out to participants for follow-up, intervention and ongoing health coaching.

Onsite Health Coaching for Risk Reduction:  Trained in our proprietary behavior change techniques, the Marathon Health clinician provides education and support to make positive lifestyle changes to prevent more serious and costly conditions in the future. Health coaching is supported by:

• Healthwise® information about chronic conditions caused by risk factors
• Problem-Knowledge Couplers® for evidence-based clinical guidelines and management options
• Mentoring and support from the Marathon Health clinician to understand the choices that are available
• Customized plans for making lifestyle changes that can reduce or eliminate risk factors
