How to Improve and Monitor Employee Health

Keeping employees safe and healthy is one of the top priorities of every healthcare organization. This has become even more apparent since the start of COVID-19, as many organizations struggled to track employee exposure, symptoms, and vaccination status.

But it’s not just during a pandemic that organizations need to focus on their employees’ health and wellbeing. Healthcare workers have historically faced high levels of burnout and stress, and it’s time for organizations to step up and begin to address these multi-faceted challenges.

Even given its importance, managing the various aspects of employee health can be challenging for healthcare organizations to monitor for several reasons. Firstly, managing large amounts of data can prove to be difficult, costly, and cumbersome with traditional methods like paper records and spreadsheets. This is especially true for larger organizations with more than 1,000 employees.

Furthermore, off-the-shelf solutions – another popular method for tracking employee health – can’t deliver the same results as a customized software solution.

Every healthcare center has unique needs, so when looking for a solution for employee health, organizations should consider a potential partner that will be willing and able to take the time to understand the nuances and complexity of their particular employee health challenges.

Healthcare technology solutions can be helpful in tracking employee health across departments, and can also benefit organizations by reducing costs. With increased ease of recalling information and reduced risk, even small organizations can save over $100,000 annually by implementing a solution for employee health.
