LifeWork Strategies

Who Are We?

LifeWork Strategies, LLC is the result of a joint venture between Adventist Healthcare System and InforMed which combines the strengths of each organization. LifeWork Strategies offers employers a comprehensive suite of products which integrates health and wellness programs with claims data management and medical management. LifeWork Strategies can successfully help your company curb the rising medical care costs (medical trend), and help employees and their dependents utilize the medical care system more effectively. We do not "steer" your employees to less expensive care settings, but serve as an advocate and partner with your employees as they navigate today's medical care "maze".

In 2002, Bill Robertson, President of Adventist Healthcare, said "enough is enough" and recognized the traditional health plan model was not working. Costs escalated by double digits year after year. A new, fundamentally different model was needed. The new model is based upon a collaborative approach which brings together patient, nurse advocate and doctor to deliver a much higher quality and more cost effective treatment program. Integrated into this approach is a comprehensive health and wellness program that focuses on the employee population health profile issues.

During the last six years, the 7,000 member Adventist Healthcare medical plan has "saved" more than $6.7 million through this program. This model works well to curb medical trends while supporting healthy lifestyles, improved employee morale, and a higher quality of life. Let us share our experience and other examples of companies that have benefited from the LifeWork Strategies approach to medical cost control.
