Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system for the design, administration and implementation of a lifestyle management program. The lifestyle management system maximizes contact and enrollment rates of traditional lifestyle management. This is accomplished through the creation of a system that combines telephonic-delivered lifestyle management (i.e. traditional lifestyle management) with work-site based health center clinician (“trusted clinician”). The lifestyle management program is characterized by the involvement of a trusted clinician who actively participates in the program by being involved in the stratification process, the contact step and the process of creating and updating the patient'"'"'s individualized care plan. Therefore, the lifestyle management program allows the clinician to be involved in both contact and enrollment phases of the program. The lifestyle management program further increases the efficiency of the program by improving overall health through behavior modification. The benefit of such a program is the reduction of health risk by effectively changing lifestyle behaviors which, in turn, allows employers administering the program to realize higher returns on their investment into such programs.
