NEEDHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HealthFleet today announced the start of the second phase of Partnerships for Reducing Overweight and Obesity with Patient-Centered Strategies (PROPS 2.0). The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) has granted Brigham and Women’s Hospital funding for an implementation project which will combine a weight management program that includes digital tools with additional support from health coaches and patient navigators to help patients achieve better health outcomes. Brigham and Women’s Hospital will be leading the implementation project, with Heather J. Baer, ScD, of the Division of General Internal Medicine and Primary Care, serving as the Principal Investigator.

“We are excited to work closely with one of the leading, nationally ranked hospitals and specialties to support this much needed research. RestoreHealth, combined with the expertise and diverse structures of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, has the potential to be transformative.”

Patients can use the RestoreHealth online program to access education, meal plans and recipes, and tools for tracking weight, diet, and activity. A RestoreHealth coach will check in with patients regularly to give guidance and feedback, and to answer questions.

“Obesity and obesity-related illnesses continue to be a significant concern among individuals and organizations worldwide,” says Cheryl Morrison Deutsch, CEO of HealthFleet. “We are excited to work closely with one of the leading, nationally ranked hospitals and specialties to support this much needed research. RestoreHealth, combined with the expertise and diverse structures of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, has the potential to be transformative.”

“Scalable, low-cost weight management strategies are needed to help support patients who have overweight or obesity,” said Heather J. Baer, ScD, Associate Epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Principal Investigator of PROPS 2.0. “Our team will implement this program across multiple settings and a diverse cross-section of patients and providers affiliated with BWH to evaluate its impact.”

The project’s results will help identify what’s required to put a program in place with diverse staffing structures and workflows. At least 5,000 patients will receive care and support through the program. The project will evaluate if the program is working as intended to help patients with overweight or obesity manage their weight. Some of the important outcomes that will be examined include the number and proportion of eligible patients who enroll in and engage in the program, the number and proportion of providers who refer patients to the program, changes in patients’ weight and other clinical outcomes, patient and provider satisfaction with the program, and barriers and facilitators to implementation.

NEEDHAM, Mass. — Dr. Cate Collings, MD, MS, FACC, Dip ABLM provided expertise, guidance and support to the Biden-Harris Administration’s White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health last week. The conference was focused on developing a transformational vision for ending hunger and reducing diet-related disease by 2030, while at the same time improving access and affordability to eliminate disparities among impacted communities.

“The conference initiatives and commitments will accelerate a long-needed focus on food as medicine and mitigation of the ever-rising diet-related chronic disease that burdens individuals, families, and our country. HealthFleet and its programs are an important part of the solution,” said Dr. Collings. “HealthFleet meets people where they are at regardless of their economic circumstances, educational level, or cultural and food customs.”

One of the many objectives of the conference was to create priorities and private-public partnerships to help solve nutritional insecurity and diet-related diseases of American citizens. HealthFleet and its programs help employers and health systems who are tasked with addressing diet-related diseases and developing food as medicine priorities.

“We are encouraged by the breadth and depth of participation by a diverse group of stakeholders at the conference,” added Cheryl Morrison Deutsch, CEO of HealthFleet. “In particular we are proud that many HealthFleet customers and partners participated in the conversation and have outlined key priorities over the coming weeks and months to bring the vision to life.”

HealthFleet continues to engage with customers, stakeholders and partners to further support the improvement of diet-related chronic diseases as well as more broadly improving individual health outcomes. The organization continues to support efforts such as the White House National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.

With HealthFleet, we’re looking to create a patient journey that is not just about physical or mental health, but about whole-person health. We’re also enhancing our technology and products to meet a complete journey that helps people manage not just one condition, but various conditions throughout their lives,” Cheryl adds.

This rebrand marks a major milestone as the company continues to serve its patients with a personalized approach to healthcare that encompasses a patient’s journey from diagnosis to management. Their new branding, driven by their mission to develop technology-based solutions for common problems in the healthcare industry, rolls out today.

The improved branding will provide a better understanding of the company’s mission, with enhanced customer experiences, valuable resources, and solutions for patients and providers. “HealthFleet helps us define ourselves better, which will ultimately help us become a bigger, well-recognized player in the market. It helps clarify our mission with a clear message: We’re here to help. And we’re here to stay,” Cheryl concludes.

NEEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS — Zillion announced today its partnership with Dexcom, the leader in real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), to connect Dexcom CGM with Zillion’s platform for use with their RestoreHealth program. This partnership will continue to enhance the RestoreHealth offering to employer and health system patients.

“Type 2 Diabetes continues to be a growing health problem. At Zillion, our goal is to develop programs to improve individual health outcomes, as well as reduce medical expenses.” said Zillion President and CEO, Cheryl Morrison Deutsch. “We’re excited to partner with Dexcom to provide patients with the data they need to take control of their health and experience real improvements that help them live happier and healthier lives.” 

Statistics show that people with diabetes have two-to-three times higher medical expenses. Although they represent 10-15% of the total patient population, they represent 30-50% of total medical and pharmacy expenditures each year.

According to Dr. Cate Collings, Chief Medical Officer for Zillion, CGM represents a technological improvement that helps RestoreHealth members and coaches proactively manage real-time health data to allow for adjustments to the plan of care.

“We have seen metabolic disease factor reduction with RestoreHealth,” said Collings. “In some cases we have been able to successfully decrease disease incidence. We expect to see significant enhancement to these results with this partnership.”    

Today, thousands of members across multiple programs powered by Zillion are experiencing healthier lives. Zillion has delivered programs for Fortune 500 companies that include national health care payers, large health care providers, and US enterprises with a global footprint.

NEEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS – Zillion and its coaching team is proud to announce that the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) has approved Zillion’s Restore Coach Institute as an Approved Health and Wellness Coach Training and Education Program. This means Zillion can now train coaching candidates for National Board certification as health and wellness coaches. 

The NBHWC collaborates with the National Board of Medical Examiners (an associate member of the American Board of Medical Specialties) to create the gold standard of board certification exam for Health and Wellness coaches. Board Certification is the key to ensuring the highest quality of medical care across all disciplines and is the best way for practitioners to demonstrate their commitment to providing the highest quality, most up to date treatment for their patients. 

“We are excited to be able to offer an NBHWC approved health and wellness coach training program to our coaching trainees. This brings incredible value to the program and will be a draw for future applicants.” – Zillion President and CEO, Cheryl Morrison Deutsch

Practitioners who wish to achieve NBHWC certification as a health and wellness coach must complete the NBHWC exam but can only take the exam after first completing: 

1. An NBHWC approved training program like the one offered by Zillion’s Restore Coach Institute.
2. Followed by 50 sessions of health and wellness coaching that also must meet NBHWC standards. 

Zillion already had a robust internal training program for their extensive team of health and wellness coaches, to support its RestoreHealth digital health and wellness platform that relies heavily on personalized coaching. Those coaches will now be able to take the exam for NBHWC without having to seek out an additional accredited training program. This increases the value of them coming to work as a coach for Zillion, and increases their value to Zillion who is able to offer them as a board certified coach. 

“With this accreditation, we are now able to train and certify health coaches. This adds value for our current team of Restore coaches, future Restore coaches, and our current and future SaaS clients.” – Zillion Director of Coaching Operations and Delivery, Kristen Simon

HR.com, the largest network of human resources (HR) professionals, has announced their Advisory Board for the “State of Human Experience 2022” to bring together thought leaders for collaboration, sharing knowledge, and providing valuable insights. Their expertise will help organizations navigate a range of issues related to the employee experience in today’s work environment through annual research and education of HR professionals.

Working closely with HR.com’s HR Research Institute (HRRI), the newly-appointed board of industry experts and thought leaders will counsel on the most impactful topics and key areas with how ever-changing human experience looks in today’s organizations and workforces. The resulting research study will provide a detailed snapshot of today’s human experience and where it’s headed in the near future, especially considering the pandemic’s effect on the work environment.

The research insights and findings will be published in a major report and will be further distilled into a two-page infographic. The results will also be featured at the complimentary virtual event, The State of Human Experience in the Workplace, scheduled for February 16-17, 2022.

The advisory board’s guidance will be invaluable in ensuring both the research and the virtual event are best-in-class for HR professionals in attendance, as well as addressing today’s top concerns.

The state of the industry research will closely examine several areas of human experience including:

• Indicators of today’s employee experience and the impact of those experiences on issues such as well-being, engagement, performance and retention
• The human experience and why some experts advocate examining such issues from the perspective of the “whole person,” seeing workers as fellow human beings and allowing us to consider the experiences of other stakeholders, such as customers, contractors, service providers and more
• The roles that various HR functions play in shaping the employee experience, from performance management to benefits programs to corporate culture and the company brand
• The HR and talent management initiatives that have the strongest impact on human experience

The newly appointed ‘State of Human Experience 2022’ Advisory Board is comprised of the following industry thought leaders:

• James Anderson, Co-Founder, Peachy Mondays

NORWALK, Conn. — Zillion is proud to be Certified by Great Place to Work®. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Zillion. This year, 98% of employees said it’s a great place to work – 39 points higher than the average U.S. company.

Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“Great Place to Work Certification isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture. Earning this designation means that Zillion is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”

“We are ecstatic to become Great Place to Work-Certified. We consider employee experience a top priority every day,” said President and CEO Cheryl Morrison Deutsch. “We owe our continued success to our team of dedicated employees at Zillion. We celebrate and thank them for all they do to earn this incredible recognition.”

Over the last few years we have strived to transition our culture to one of acceptance. We have shared beliefs and values which were established and reinforced through various methods, ultimately shaping our employee perceptions, understanding of values and behaviors. This year at Zillion, we developed programs that recognize the importance of a diverse workplace. Our workshops have incorporated guest speakers focused on supporting individuals in overcoming imposter syndrome to understanding how to be great allies for our members, customers and employees in the LBGTQ community and awareness in the importance of supporting small minority owned businesses. We also like to “practice what we preach”. Our team building and fundraising event aligned with our mental health program RestoreResilience which raised funds for the Trevor Project in recognition of suicide prevention. We are thrilled our employees believe we are a Great Place to Work!

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Additionally, employees at Certified workplaces are 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion. Recruiting the right talent is important to us as we hire across the country. Zillion’s remote on boarding program was redefined due to the pandemic. New employees are acclimated to our environment through a peer orientation and training on various products and teams.
