You Can Now Use the DSS Research Health Care Engagement Index for Free!

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- DSS Research, the leader in market research for the health insurance industry, announced today that its DSS Health Care Engagement Index™ (HCEI™) is available for free use to qualified parties.  The HCEI tells you how engaged your members, employees or patients are in their personal health care and provides insight on how to move them toward higher levels of engagement. The DSS HCEI is based on a scientific approach to scale development to combine four health related constructs -- health literacy, knowledge, attitudes and behaviors -- into a comprehensive measure of consumer engagement.

To make the benefits of the DSS HCEI more broadly available and to expand the HCEI user community, we now offer FREE usage of the HCEI to health plans, health care providers, employers, academics and health care consultants.

Sign-up in the next 90 days and DSS will score an unlimited number of records for you. Any individual or organization that agrees to deposit their de-identified results into a benchmark database maintained by DSS will receive free engagement index scoring. Those who share their data will also receive access to the benchmark results, comparing their population's health literacy, knowledge, attitudes, behavioral and engagement levels to national and regional benchmarks.
