Session Description: Increasingly, employers have turned to digital health solutions to advance total worker health, reduce absenteeism/presenteeism, and improve healthcare access. These solutions cover a range of acute and chronic conditions, e.g., musculoskeletal, behavioral health, substance use, and metabolic health. Employers are stepping back due to cost pressures, complex ecosystems, and “point solution fatigue,” to understand the value of digital health solutions which are poorly regulated, may lack peer-reviewed studies, and assert claims related to health outcomes, ROI, and quality that lack substantiation or supporting data. Through a panel discussion with an employer, payer, benefits consultant, and digital health vendor, we will highlight use cases, case studies with data, and provide a framework for evaluating digital health solutions in the workplace, including metrics. As a result, the audience will better understand how to assess data and implement clinically and cost-effective digital health solutions that promote a more comprehensive and evidence-based approach to healthcare delivery, demonstrate ROI, and optimize employee health & wellness.

Educational Gaps: Medical leaders are often called upon to advise employers, insurance companies, and other stakeholders on the optimal programs to promote total worker health. Despite the prevalence of digital health solutions in the workplace, medical leaders often lack the experience, the framework, and the data to adequately assess these solutions.
