The HERO Think Tank Presents the

HERO Forum for Employee Health Management Solutions
and
The C. Everett Koop National Health Awards

InterContinental – New Orleans
September 23-25, 2008
Tuesday, September 23 – 8:00am to 5:00pm
Wednesday, September 24 – 8:00am to 5:00 pm
Thursday, September 25 – 8:00am to 12:30 pm

Why is the Forum so meaningful and successful? The Forum is different. All events are highly interactive, with the time shared between the facilitators and you, the participants. The employee health management (EHM) experts do not lecture on “what you should do”, but instead they use an interactive approach to help you learn “how to do it”. During the discussions, the participants have time to express their experiences, reaction, critique, questions, and answers. Another thing that makes the Forum different is that you are a participant in the highly respected and coveted C. Everett Koop National Health Awards ceremony. Dr Koop is a national icon, whom you can meet. Following are the Forum core events.

Ask the Experts
EHM Future Trends

Many of the national EHM corporate and provider  experts will be at the Forum. This is a general session where a cross section of the experts will answer your personal questions and provide individual EHM advice and council. There will also be peer to peer interaction. You may present your questions in advance, and ask impromptu questions. This is an extraordinary opportunity to interact with the experts relative to your personal EHM needs.

EHM is advancing rapidly in regard to sophistication, effectiveness and accountability. This is the good news. The challenge is, how do you keep up with current and future trends? This general session brings together top level thought leaders who are on the cutting edge of creating tomorrow’s EHM. They will share valuable information and know how that will bring you up to speed on the latest in EHM. This “look into the future” will enhance your ability for all your EHM responsibilities and result in the development of the best possible EHM programming.

The HERO Employee Health Management Best Practice Scorecard (Scorecard)

The identification of employee health management benchmarks and the determination of best practice is becoming increasingly important. At the 2006 Forum, Version One of the HERO Employee Health management Best Practice Scorecard (Scorecard) was released. The Scorecard is a self-administered instrument that allows you to establish employee health management benchmarks and determine best practice for your program. One year later, Version Two was made available. A PDF version of the Scorecard Version Two can be downloaded and printed by clicking on the Scorecard link. In addition to the PDF version, you are also provided with an Online Evaluation Scorecard which is intended for research and evaluation purposes. You can provide your program information and receive an aggregate report. Instructions for using the Online Scorecard are provided.
