About Wellness Management Systems
Providing powerful wellness tech solutions for consumer-driven health care programs.
At Wellness Management Systems, we understand that health care costs cannot continue
to rise without damaging our economy's bottom line. Individuals and corporations
bear the burden of these rising costs. Since over 70 percent of health care dollars
spent in the United States are due to lifestyle choices, we feel compelled to help
individuals become healthier. With over 25 years in the health care industry and
10 years in web-based program design, Wellness Management Systems was originated
to provide solutions to lifestyle related health care costs. Wellness programs are
also an integral part of consumer driven health care plans.
Our mission is to give employers and employees a program to help reduce their health
risks by living a healthier life. The 4 major risk factors for disease and death
are tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity and being overweight or obese.
Only 10% of our population does not have any risk factors.
We have designed the program to help employees stay healthy or become healthy. Behavior
change works best through providing education (our assessment, screenings, newsletter,
online articles and classes), promoting behavior change (our tracking system) and
creating a supportive environment (incentive program, online forums, virtual coaching).
Since most employees spend more time at work than at home, wellness programs can
be very effective in the work setting.
Wellness Management Systems works closely with agents, TPAs and disease management
companies. We have a licensed staff of personal trainers, registered dietitians,
and licensed mental health therapists. We work closely with the medical community
to review our program.
Our Focus
Wellness Management Systems focuses on providing the best available set of wellness
services and platforms for your members, your corporation or provider. We have developed
our service around providing a balanced approach and individualized support in Fitness,
Nutrition, Lifestyle and Preventive Health Care. By using this balanced approach
we can individualize the information and system around each member. We have learned
that if you want an individual to change current behaviors that may hurt their current
and future health, individualized information must be provided for them that is
most relevant to their needs.
