  • Description:
    Objective: To review literature and research on chronic diseases in the workplace and how they influence health care costs. To investigate if employers' efforts to provide education and programs for employees with chronic diseases influences health care claims. Methods: This was a review of literature that analyzed different employers' efforts to decrease health care claims for chronic diseases. Results: The companies that were the most successful provided an onsite service to their employees that incorporated assistance with behavior modification. Some companies utilized telephonic and online services for employees instead of an onsite program. Conclusion: More research needs to be done to prove to company leaders that chronic disease education and programs will decrease health care costs. These programs are benefits to employees but not necessarily proven cost reducers. [Description provided by NIOSH]
