MBriefs Byte Sized Benefits | january 2022 Edition

The Data Is In… & It Is Working

January: a time to reflect on possible enhancements from the previous year. 2022 has a new COVID variant, so we are still dealing with that mess. However, the data shows some pretty cool things happening to improve the health care process.

Professionals across the health care board are gathering and sharing their data to better employee engagement and track trends to improve what benefits are being offered. Consider these simple questions: What are the most requested employee benefits, how do you communicate these benefits, and are your employees 'getting it' well enough to use it? Dig into this month's MBriefs and ponder what the data means to you.

The Real Stuff You Need to Know

Continuation of Health Care Trends in 2022

These trends are modernizing by putting the patient first, achieving the best experience with their health care.

First, the drugs. How much time and energy are needed to stay on top in the drug production industry? Apparently, too much. Instead, pharmaceutical companies are working harder in researching the data to create the best drug and looking to partner with others to distribute.

Next, Data analytics: The number-crunching game helps improve medication effectiveness, find the best doctors and observe repetitions to predict outcomes.

And finally, telemedicine. Although it was necessary during the pandemic, the time has come to work toward a hybrid. All three of these trends will affect your benefits and how you should approach renewals.
