Midwest Health Strategy Project

  
In 2010, the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH), under a grant from Pfizer, Inc., solicited the involvement of five additional coalitions as pilots.  The objective was to determine if other markets could replicate the KC2 project. The new initiative, called the American Health Strategy Project (AHSP), set out to improve the health of covered populations and to better manage health benefit costs. Participating coalitions were encouraged to adopt and enhance the KC2 model to meet and support the needs of employers in their markets. They were given hands-on and financial support from Pfizer, Inc. for technical, analytical and clinical services.

MBGH was selected as one of the AHSP pilots and called their pilot the Midwest Health Strategy Project (MHSP).  The purpose of the pilot was:

  • To educate employers on the value of understanding their own data to make more informed decisions regarding effective interventions that target the health improvement of their covered populations

  • To evaluate internal business processes that support a company’s existing health management strategy and develop key enhancements that allow for a more effective approach

  • To support employers to align appropriate incentives for desired behaviors and remove barriers to health care for their employees
