Expanding understanding of mind/body dynamics on health

PATH Type® reveals that medical care demand is not just driven by illness but by care seeking dispositions can increase or reduce annual claims.

When you know what drives health care seeking in your membership you will design better products with higher profitability. PATH Type® offers a powerful insight into the healthcare consumer mind that brings the ability to increase profitability, member satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy. Find out how.
The behavior of 90% of adults in the U.S. are shaped by nine types defined by naturally occurring implicit behavioral patterns around medical care demand, information need, trust, adherence, and compliance, health locus of control for self and family, cost, quality, exercise and a host of others. Interventions designed to change health behavior and health will fall short if these naturally occurring patterns are not accounted for. The solution is the addition of the PATH Type® assessment.
Attract higher loyalty and advocacy
Address decreasing reimbursements
Decrease patient contribution to medical errors
Diagnose patient perceptions and predict satisfaction
Employee reaction to illness, injury or diease can be more important than the health issue itself when considering impacts on productivity, medical costs, presentism and absenteeism.

The PATH Type® focus is not so much on health conditions or risk factors but on the way employees responds to them based on pre-existing patterns of thinking and behavior. PATH Type® can increase engagement and address employee health care demand without targeting health risks.
