Health, Equity and Affordability Tool
Solutions to Rising Healthcare Costs
Healthcare costs are rising due to inflation and slowing economic growth. These market pressures are even more prominent for disadvantaged, lower-earning employees – further highlighting health equity and access gaps. Employee satisfaction, engagement and productivity are all at risk when costs become unaffordable for employers and employees.
A solution to rising healthcare costs – that is informed by analytics – can guide organizations down the right path toward successfully balancing cost pressures with the employee value proposition. In fact, 73% of organizations say benefits are key to their employee value proposition and strive to offer strategies, solutions and programs to build highly competitive benefits.
Health, Equity and Affordability Tool
With a few census data points, our health, equity and affordability tool helps you connect and understand organizational relationships between healthcare costs and affordability, demographics, physical and mental health conditions, health habits, plan design, location, healthcare labor supply and work productivity. The tool leverages machine learning of healthcare expenditure and affordability predictors to help:
- Optimize healthcare spend
- Satisfy employee coverage needs
- Reduce health risk
- Improve employee value proposition
- Identify strategies to address access and affordability
The tool also provides insights related to affordability, social determinants of health through an area deprivation index, and care access, including primary care and mental health shortages. Additionally, it benchmarks these areas related to Aon’s broad client base and similar clients.
