Print Products

The WorkCare Group offers a variety of generic and, if you choose, customized print products in three distinct categories: work-care, self-care, and risk-awareness and reduction. To learn more about our customized products, visit our Custom Health section or contact us. We can customize one of our existing publications or create a new product exclusively for you. Customizations may include simple changes like adding your logo to the front cover or even changing the title; in addition, more personalized customizations are available, such as abridged versions (for easier reading) or even entirely new publications for which you have a need. The choice is yours!

Self-Care Products

We offer five specialized self-care publications to meet the needs of every employer group. Each reference offers sound guidance for maximizing health, reducing inappropriate medical utilization, and using the healthcare system more effectively. These publications are:

	Well INFORMED, a comprehensive personal health reference containing 298 pages of expert guidance spanning the entire healthcare continuum. It covers over 145 common medical problems and their appropriate care and treatment options. Also covered are topics on preventing illness and accidents, responding to emergencies, adopting medical consumer skills, finding the right doctor and using medications wisely.
INFORMED is a money-saving 128-page handbook that gives employees and plan members a concise introduction to self-care basics, common ailments, and healthy lifestyle choices. It costs 50 to 60 percent less than other medical self-care books, and yet it still covers more than 85 percent of the most common reasons for ambulatory visits.
	Informed AdvantAGE helps older adults take charge of their health with this 340-page resource. Senior-specific topics include "steps for a longer life" and single-page guides to 120 common medical problems. Large type and jargon-free explanations make the instructions easy to read and apply.
	Your Baby, Your Child is a valuable resource that covers everything from planning for pregnancy and managing maternity leave to diverse health issues that parents encounter during their child's first six years of life.
You and Your Baby contains the same comprehensive medical self-care information as Healthy Baby, Healthy Child except that it is written at a fourth grade reading level while still maintaining reader interest.
	Work & Life newsletter is an award-winning periodical that is current, easy-to-read, customizable, and features both self-care and work-care information. To view a sample issue, click here.

Risk Awareness and Reduction Tools

	HealthView Personal Health Risk Assessment is a readily affordable, user-friendly HRA that lets you zero in on conditions and behaviors that affect worker health and diminish productivity. It is self-administered, self-scoring, and participants receive immediate, easy-to-read feedback. For a review of HealthView™ and pricing information, see our WorkCare Resources Catalog.
	Healthy Horizons is a 32-page personal planning guide which helps employees increase risk awareness and keep track of their vital health information. It offers practical "ideas that work" like exercise, cholesterol control, healthy eating, etc. and features a complete record-keeping system for screening results, family health history, medical use records and more. For a review of Healthy Horizons and pricing information, see our WorkCare Resources Catalog.
	Healthy Approaches™ Series is a collection of 14, 20-page booklets on specific health topics such as stress management, physical activity, weight control, smoking cessation, managing diabetes, etc., incorporating the "stages of change" methodology into every booklet. Healthy Approaches™ provides integrated approaches to risk intervention. For a full listing of all titles and pricing information, see our WorkCare Resources Catalog.

E-solutions
Internet, Intranet, and Licensed E-content

Now your organization can combine the power of the WorkCare program with the impact and immediacy of electronic on-line delivery. Employees and their families in all stages of life use our WorkCare tools to improve their health and well being.

Why We Are Different: Health Promotion And Work Promotion!

Unlike most healthcare resources on-line, The WorkCare Group's e-content solutions don't just offer medical and health-related information. We take a complete, comprehensive, and integrated approach to the lives of your employees. Not only do we offer health and self-care information and assessments; we also offer work-care resources for coping with work and work/life issues that undermine employee productivity, motivation, and effectiveness. Our system actually promotes employee productivity while promoting their health and well being! For a review of our work and health promotion Web site, go to Lifedesk.com.

How Licensed Content Can Work For You

Many organizations opt for our full interactive Web site of information. But we understand that one size doesn't fit all. Some programs only need healthcare and self-care information. You can license that portion of our Web site to integrate with your program, or even as a stand-alone program. Some organizations need only our work-care content to augment their health promotion program. You can license that portion as well.

We have many customers who desire our comprehensive health and wellness information, and they license that information, not only to be used in their on-line programs, but also on CD-ROMs, and some license information which can be transferred to their print-media solutions. So whether it's health promotion or work promotion materials you seek, please peruse the information on this site and use your imagination as to how you can integrate this valuable information into your new or existing program.
