Eliza Corporation Presents at MedCity Engage on a Panel Moderated by Deloitte Center for Health Solutions

WASHINGTON and DANVERS, Mass., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Eliza Corporation ("Eliza") participated on a panel discussion entitled Direct from Big Employers: How Can Healthcare Help Them? at MedCity ENGAGE, an executive-level event where the industry's brightest minds and leading organizations discuss best-in-class approaches to advance patient engagement and healthcare delivery.

The panel featured:

• Doug Goldstein, innovator in population health and technology
• Harry Greenspun, M.D., Senior Advisor, Deloitte Center for Health Solutions (moderator)
• Brad Kirkpatrick, President, Employer and Government Market, Healthways, Inc.
• Mark Manning, Chief Revenue Officer, Eliza Corporation
• John C. ("Jack") Stoddard, Chief Operating Officer, Accolade 

Key topics discussed include:

• Marketplace changes that impact employers
• Opportunities for employers and the healthcare system to work better together
• Engagement strategies that not only cut costs, but also improve employee health and productivity

According to Kaiser Permanente, "Employees engaged in their health and satisfied with their health care will make your business better—and save you money. They take fewer sick days. They're more productive. And they're less likely to leave their job. Unplanned absences alone cost nearly 9% of payroll, while replacing a mid-level employee costs you 150% of their annual salary. Helping employees to engage in their health is an investment that pays for itself."

Mark Manning, Chief Revenue Officer at Eliza Corporation stated, "Communicating with employees about their health and care isn't simply a matter of reaching out to people -- it's about using insights to help establish legitimate and loyal relationships with employees that build mutual value. Eliza personalizes employee communications and delivers back deep behavioral insights that employers can apply in ways that not only reflects employees' preferences, but also more effectively engages them in their health, care and productivity."
