Employees seek help interpreting health data

Published 2 Min Read

While Anthem’s recent data breach raised concerns on the security of personal data, an employee’s ability to actually understand and interpret personal health information may be the larger, long-term issue at hand – and a vehicle that employers can use to boost employee engagement.

While the majority of consumers say it’s relatively easy to access the information on their health plans, just over half (53%) say it’s difficult to either understand their personal health information, and/or understand what they need to do to maintain or improve their health, according to recent data from HealthMine.
