Health systems are navigating an increasingly complex landscape characterized by unpredictable revenue, compressed margins, rising costs, and the ongoing transition to value-based care. Within this challenging environment, health system executives have a compelling opportunity to enhance the employee health plan (EHP) strategy for their organizations.

A well-optimized EHP strategy not only mitigates rising costs but also strengthens population health management capabilities while paving the way for opportunities to generate new revenue streams. Leading health systems that have prioritized EHP innovation are already demonstrating measurable outcomes in cost reduction, employee wellness, and scalable program success, enabling broader initiatives that drive sustainable growth and innovation.
