Survey Says!
According to a 2006 Watson Wyatt survey report on CDH strategies for employers, companies that are succeeding at controlling cost increases are using a wide range of healthcare comparison tools as part of wider perspective of consumerism than just high deductible plans. Best-performing companies have a two-year median healthcare cost increase of only 3 percent compared to poor performers' 11.5 percent.
Best performer companies are more than 30 percent more likely than poor performers to use metrics for quality and consider quality in their plan design decisions. They are also 24 percent more likely to have programs to assist employees in managing their own health and 23 percent more likely to use hard evidence to guide their healthcare decisions.
