Wellness Programs : Smaller Companys Adopting Illness Management.
A recent survey finds almost 42% of companys with 200 or fewer staff have some sort of disease management (DM) program.
That’s a enormous increase from four years ago, when just 28 percent of smaller corporations offered such health promotion programs.
There’s more to come, too. Fifteen% of respondents that didn’t currently have a disease management component to their health plan hope to add one by 2011.
The highest-demand disease management (DM) programs are for diabetes, asthma and heart illness.
