Common use of Rewarding and Reinforcing the Culture of Health Clause in Contracts

Rewarding and Reinforcing the Culture of Health. The Total Health Program is a long-term business strategy for KP. KP’s ability to offer a fully integrated and high-quality model of care is an imperative that needs to be reinforced at all levels of the organization. To the extent that employees can model Total Health, such personal leadership creates a competitive advantage for KP. As such, it is critical to educate all employees about the business case for Total Health, including the costs associated with health risks, and the benefits associated with limiting such risks. The committee shall endeavor to create a Total Health Program Incentive (“THPI”) separate and apart from the Performance Sharing Program, which shall seek to encourage employees to collectively: (1) Update biometric risk screenings; (2) Complete the Total Health Assessment; (3) Maintain or make steady improvements on key biometric risks (weight, smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol). The THPI shall be developed in accordance with the principles of the Partnership, and shall be premised on the proposition that an incentive is only paid out if there are mutually agreed-upon savings in health care costs as the result of measureable improvements of the biometric risk indicators; or if the parties mutually agree that significant progress has been made toward desired outcomes. The goal of the committee shall be to develop a THPI framework by the end of calendar year 2012. The initial implementation shall take place in calendar year 2013, and an initial incentive may be paid at the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2014 based on the results achieved in the previous year. The goal of the parties shall be to achieve a 5 percent improvement in the key biometric risk indicators for Coalition-represented employees by December 31, 2016.
