Scorecard

The HERO Employee Health Management (EHM) Best  Practice Scorecard is designed to help organizations learn about EHM best practices – and discover opportunities to improve their programs and measure progress over time.

Developed in consultation with leading authorities on EHM, the Scorecard can be of practical and strategic use. It’s a free online survey that teaches you about EHM best practices as you complete it – and provides you with an instant assessment of how your program stacks up to others in the national Scorecard database.

The Scorecard is…

…an inventory of best practices
The Scorecard provides a valuable inventory of best practices to guide strategic planning. Covering six foundational elements of EHM -- Strategic Planning, Leadership Engagement, Program-Level Management, Programs, Engagement Methods and Measurement and Evaluation -- the questions serve as a checklist of best practices in each area.  These practices have been assigned scores based on the extent to which they contribute to program success.  The Scorecard also asks for participation rates, cost and outcomes, using metrics selected by a broad panel of EHM experts.

…an indicator of program success
Exemplary EHM programs provide services that participants value; improve population health; and ultimately deliver a positive return on investment. Is your program positioned to achieve these results? You’ll receive a free report upon submitting a completed Scorecard, comparing your organization’s scores to the aggregate scores of all organizations in the Scorecard database. Use this information to identify opportunities to incorporate best practice approaches into your program.

…a powerful normative database for benchmarking and research
When you complete the Scorecard, you’re also contributing to a national database that will support critical research on the relationship of program structure and outcomes (of course, your individual responses will be kept strictly confidential).

...Confidential
Your individual responses to the Scorecard will be kept strictly confidential. The online Scorecard data collection tool and automated scoring system are maintained by a third-party vendor. Only aggregated data with no individual company identifiers will be used for normative and research purposes, and aggregate results of research studies may be published.  Any use of your individually identifiable data for research or other purposes will require your prior written consent.
