Employers play a significant role in promoting preventive care and improving the health of their employees. Preventive care is one of the best ways to reduce health care costs and improve the health and productivity of the population.

Employers can invest in better preventive care compliance in multiple ways outlined throughout this document. By doing so, they can limit cost increases over the long term and help their employees navigate the health care system more effectively. Employers should also turn to their vendor partners and hold them accountable for promoting and monitoring compliance with preventive services and assisting with communication and engagement efforts. Improving preventive screenings and adoption of innovation in preventive care needs to be a multi-stakeholder, sustained effort. With a proactive approach, employers and their partners can make a significant impact on the health and well-being of their employees while also reducing costs.
