Biometric Screenings

Biometric testing is an integral part of identifying and assessing employee health risks. Quantifying health risks provides a road map for prevention strategies. Most health risk assessment programs rely only on self-reported laboratory data to create an employee health risk profile. Self reported health data is often inaccurate and can lead to faulty risk assessments and misdirected action plans for employees. This argument is supported by the fact that an alarming number of persons with medical disease are undiagnosed.

InHouse Physicians addresses this issue by offering cost effective, biometric screening that can be performed as part of the health risk assessment. We avoid the pitfalls of self-reported data, create a much more accurate health assessment of your employees, and design more effective action plans to positively modify employee health risks and control associated employer healthcare costs.

Specific Tests

InHouse Physicians biometric testing offers your employees access to clinical tests that evaluates a person’s risk for the most common medical conditions. These medical conditions are responsible for a majority of employee medical costs and include heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. The specific tests that are available include blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, fasting lipid panel, HbA1C, bone density, skin cancer screening, and a variety of cancer markers. Attendees are provided with a list of recommendations based on nationally recognized guidelines and have access to our web-based physician consultation services.

Communication with Employee’s Physician

Our physicians share all of the biometric test results with the employee’s primary care physician. This action dramatically increases the likelihood that the results of the testing will lead to a positive shift in the employee’s quality of medical care, well-being, and health risks.
