Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employers, health plans and providers have traditionally turned to health fairs to deliver health and wellness education and screening services to large numbers of consumers in a convenient one-stop shopping format. However, with some strategic planning and support from the C-suite, companies can redefine health fairs to also rejuvenate their bottom lines and effect positive lifestyle changes among participants. The Health Fair Handbook: Executing Events That Draw a Crowd, Engage Participants and Deliver ROI is designed to help organizations plan and launch health fairs that attract attendees and deliver value to their hosts. This 33-page special report, based on a 2006 audio conference, explains how the proper organization, timing and incentives can turn a health fair into an opportunity to educate and engage attendees while collecting valuable data companies can use to fine-tune benefit and wellness offerings. In this report, three industry consultants detail how to plan a dynamic health fair that attracts targeted populations and moves participants along the wellness continuum. In addition, this special report suggests themes, incentives and promotions that can boost attendance and engagement. These health fair how-to's are provided by Paul Harris, senior healthcare consultant with Hewitt Associates, Larry Hicks, senior consultant with the Hay Group, and Heidi Laubach, consultant with AON Consulting.

Download or read book Reducing the Odds written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-02-13 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of HIV-positive women give birth every year. Further, because many pregnant women are not tested for HIV and therefore do not receive treatment, the number of children born with HIV is still unacceptably high. What can we do to eliminate this tragic and costly inheritance? In response to a congressional request, this book evaluates the extent to which state efforts have been effective in reducing the perinatal transmission of HIV. The committee recommends that testing HIV be a routine part of prenatal care, and that health care providers notify women that HIV testing is part of the usual array of prenatal tests and that they have an opportunity to refuse the HIV test. This approach could help both reduce the number of pediatric AIDS cases and improve treatment for mothers with AIDS. Reducing the Odds will be of special interest to federal, state, and local health policymakers, prenatal care providers, maternal and child health specialists, public health practitioners, and advocates for HIV/AIDS patients.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of poor health, disability, and death in the U.S. Efficient delivery of recommended preventive health services may significantly impact chronic disease burden, yet only a fraction of eligible adults receive preventive care. Therefore, innovative strategies are needed that extend the reach of the health care system into community venues, particularly for those with limited access to traditional health care settings. This dissertation examines how community health fairs organized through clinical-community partnerships can supplement the health care system in delivering preventive health services. Health fairs organized through the Faith Community Health Partnership (FCHP), a community benefit program of Providence Health and Services, were studied. The first study utilized administrative data from FCHP health fairs to construct a profile of participants (n=5,274), and the preventive health services they received including referrals for those with positive findings. Overall, screening rates for a standard battery of tests were high. FHCP health fairs served an at-risk population as evidenced by the large proportion of participants who screened positive on multiple tests.i Also reached were large numbers of uninsured and racial/ethnic minorities. The second study conducted a survey of 315 FCHP health fair participants to identify barriers to health care access, motivations for attending the health fairs, services received, and preferences for additional services. Common barriers to access included cost, lack of timely appointments, and long wait times in the doctor's office. Free and convenient health fairs may address most identified barriers to care. Fewer than 33% of participants with positive screenings reported receiving referrals to follow-up care. The third study conducted qualitative interviews with FCHP partners (Providence, health ministries, and vendors), to identify the factors that underlie successful and sustainable collaboration in clinical-community partnerships. Perceived value, leadership buy-in, trust, and collaborative learning were key factors in promoting collaboration. The FCHP clinical-community partnership provided preventive health services to substantial numbers of health fair participants from populations of interest. However, for health fairs to serve as effective extenders of traditional primary care, the partners must also commit to providing linkages to primary care and adequate follow-up for participants with positive screenings.

Book excerpt: Abstract: A description of a 3-day health fair (HEalth Works '79) sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services includes reactions and comments from participants and observers regarding the success of the fair. The fair was designed to increase awareness and understanding of health promotion among health professionals and the public, to expand the concept of the health fair beyond the traditional emphasis on health screening, to attract media attention to the health promotion and disease prevention, and to encourage individuals to focus on health rather than illness. The fair was intended as a prototype for communities planning similar events. An appendix lists exhibits present at HEalth Works '79. (ds).
