What is the function and significance of enterprise health management?

I. Health and health management

With the change of medical model, the change of disease spectrum and the arrival of aging population, acute infectious diseases are no longer the chief culprit endangering people's health, but instead are chronic non-communicable diseases, psychological diseases and sub-health status. In May, 2002, China International Symposium on Sub-health Academic Achievements pointed out that 15% of the population in China belongs to healthy people, 15% belongs to unhealthy people, and 70% belongs to sub-health people. And almost every individual who participates in market competition suffers from chronic diseases and mental diseases to some extent.

The definition of health in the biological-psychological-sociological sense put forward by the World Health Organization holds that "health is not only the absence of physical defects and diseases, but also a state of physical, psychological and social adaptability." At the same time, the research of health economics shows that health in the sense of biopsychology-sociology = 15% heredity +7% environment +8% medical care +60% lifestyle. It can be seen that the health of modern society can be obtained by adhering to preventive health care such as a healthy lifestyle, unlike the diseases in the 1930s and 1940s which were mainly avoided or reduced by the progress of medical technology. Therefore, contemporary enterprises can enter a successful era of health management and meet the general pursuit of their own health.

The so-called health management is the management process of comprehensively intervening the health and disease factors of individuals or groups to realize "nip in the bud". Its specific approach is to evaluate the health status of individuals, provide targeted health guidance and treatment for individuals, and ultimately keep individuals or groups in the best possible health state. Enterprise health management is the application of modern medical technology and information technology to systematically pay attention to and maintain the health of enterprise employees from the social, physiological and psychological perspectives.

Second, the role and significance of enterprise health management theory and practice show that the implementation of health management in enterprises is similar to "four or two", specifically as follows:

1, enterprise health management can reduce the total cost of medical care. The experience of American enterprise health management shows that health management has such a secret for any enterprise and individual, that is, 90% and 10%. Specifically, after 90% of individuals and enterprises passed health management, the medical expenses dropped to the original10%; And 10% of individuals and enterprises did not do health management, and medical expenses increased by 90%. There is a simple reason. In enterprises that have implemented health management, the prevalence rate and hospitalization rate of employees have obviously decreased, and most of the disease risks have been eliminated in the bud through various means; Even if you are sick, you will recover quickly because of the "three mornings" (early examination, early diagnosis and early treatment). As a result, the total expenditure of enterprises on employee health care has dropped sharply.

2. Enterprise health management can greatly reduce the indirect economic losses caused by employees' illness or sick leave. Due to the implementation of health management, employees in enterprises not only reduce the incidence of illness, but also reduce the incidence of illness by actively influencing the lifestyle of their families. In this way, enterprise health management not only reduces the sick leave time of employees, but also reduces the health leave time of taking care of family members, thus greatly reducing the indirect economic losses brought to enterprises.

3. Enterprise health management is a welfare project to attract excellent employees. The development of enterprises can not be separated from the participation of top entrepreneurs and excellent employees. In an era when health is increasingly becoming one of the important goals pursued by people, this welfare measure of enterprises will undoubtedly attract many outstanding talents who are eager for career success and attach importance to their own health. This will surely become one of the sharp tools for enterprises to participate in market competition.

4. Enterprise health management can significantly improve the labor productivity of employees. In enterprises engaged in health management, the annual output of each employee has increased by more than 50%. After investigation, human resources experts found the reasons: on the one hand, employees who implement health management can feel the care of the enterprise, have a sense of belonging and enthusiasm for work, and this kind of welfare can attract outstanding employees to join the enterprise, which will naturally inject more innovative ideas into the enterprise; On the other hand, through the implementation of health management, employees in enterprises are healthier physically and mentally, more energetic, and more United and mutually supportive among employees, which can directly improve the labor productivity of enterprises.

Three, the main mode of enterprise health management

At present, health management services of enterprises in China are mainly provided by health management enterprises, and there are two main modes: one is health management companies relying on large pharmaceutical groups. For example, Sanjiu Digital Health Management Co., Ltd. under the background of Sanjiu Group has established a sustained and comprehensive health management system by combining Sanjiu Hospital, Sanjiu Chain Pharmacy and Sanjiu Telemedicine System. From the filing management, analysis and execution of personal health information, to the targeted treatment when sick, and then to the recovery and tracking after treatment, it provides a full range of health management services. The services it provides for enterprises include the following 10:

1, providing health popularization lectures for enterprises 1 time;

2. Provide enterprises with health consultation and medical consultation in the nearest hospital free of charge: employees can consult at any time if they have health problems;

3. Establish health records for employees;

4, provide enterprise occupational disease prevention and control plan and infectious disease prevention and control plan;

5, enterprise employees to cooperative hospitals to see a doctor free of ordinary registration fees (common diseases);

6. Acting for the medical registration and expert number (serious illness) of a large hospital and contacting the hospital. Regularly invite experts from large hospitals to conduct special consultations;

7. Provide physical examination, vaccination and health lecture services at preferential prices;

8. Purchase disinfection, health care and protective articles of the company, and purchase medicines on behalf of the company;

9. Acting for commercial medical insurance;

10, other services: hiring private doctors for business leaders, providing family medical consultants for ordinary employees' families, taking care of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, etc.

The other is some small health management institutions. Unlike the former, this small institution has a good network foundation of preventive health care services, so the service content is relatively simple, and the focus is usually "health care". That is, after the establishment of health information files and evaluation and analysis, the participants' physical and mental conditions are improved mainly through various means of aftercare.

For the above two main enterprise health management modes, different enterprises should choose the appropriate health management mode according to the industry characteristics, enterprise financial status and employee health status (different health management modes can also be implemented for different employee groups in the enterprise when necessary), and the specific responsibilities related to enterprise health management are undertaken by the human resources department in the enterprise.

Four. conclusion

Generally speaking, the implementation of health management in enterprises is similar to the investment in on-the-job training, which is an investment in healthy capital in the overall human capital of enterprises. This kind of investment can indeed bring rich profit returns and good social benefits to enterprises, and it is a management innovation worthy of bold attempts by enterprises.
