Wellness is the Answer to Creating Healthier Americans, Cost Savings and a Healthier Economy

Orriant proudly introduces their “Wellness Healthcare Reform” program, along with ErgoScience, an innovative approach that aims to increase the bottom line and change America’s ailing healthcare system.

Orriant is changing the way the nation’s healthcare system operates. Orriant introduces their “Wellness Healthcare Reform” plan. Orriant’s Wellness plan is a powerful way to help companies and their trusted employees manage the ever increasing costs of health care.Orriant is a ground-breaking approach that enables companies to engage in living stronger, more active, healthier lives. It is an innovative program that provides organizations with a personal coach for every employee and spouse along with the tools to help them meet their individual goals for healthier living. Employees will better understand individual health-risks and what they can do to control them with the voluntary opt-in program.

Those employees who change their lifestyles and live healthy lives contribute to declines in insurance claims. Each individual with health risks will set goals with the help of a coach to live more active and eat healthier. Those who don’t opt in contribute more for their insurance which effectively subsidizes the entire cost of the program. It’s a solution that pays for itself.

The powerful back-end dashboard allows all participants to track their goals with HIPAA compliant privacy. This convenient tool gives a quick snapshot of successes, failures, and areas where they need help and encouragement.

As employees work to meet their individual goals based on their own specific circumstances, they will see significant change, adaptation to healthier behaviors, productivity will likely increase and premiums will be less.

Orriant’s Wellness Reform plan follows a basic six step approach:

1. Invest in a self-funding, results-proven wellness program
