Council received an update on Lexthrive, LFUCG’s Health Management Strategy, on May 6th. You can see the presentation here.  The operation of the Samuel Brown Health Center, the city employee pharmacy, and  the incentive program are key components of that strategy.  The good news is that 60% of the employees have completed a biometric screening and are using the Health Center.  The total savings in paid claims in a one year period is over $2 million.  1,659 patients have been identified with biometric risk factors, 70% have been engaged, and 40% have improved their health.

The Health Center is seeing almost 900 patients per month for health coaching and acute care and a total of 20,000 per year including occupational services.  Appointments are currently 98% filled.  Looking forward they plan to address the growing demand for care, increase the engagement of the target population (those identified with health risk), and increase the number of patients making clinical gains.
