Population Health

Population Health for the Fitness Profession

This is where Medical Health and Fitness comes in. We’ve been analyzing and publishing cutting edge research for the past 30 years. Our work has spanned clinical exercise – diabetes care, cancer wellness, athletic performance, and recently – ergonomics and cannabis and cancer recovery. Our approach is simple:

a. Health clubs and medical fitness centers are sitting on huge amounts of important medical and health data

b. Population health analytics can help organize, analyze, and submit this information to top medical and health promotion journals.

c. This information will allow for increased referrals and help with other healthcare issues related to your programs.

We can help your centers move into the direction of population health. We will work with your fitness training staff to see how they collect assessments, therapy sessions, and post program follow up data. Next we’ll put this data into a package that will include a primary report, white paper, other media draft. A finished manuscript will be reviewed and sent to specific high impact journals that will allow multiple industries to see the value of your clinical programs. We work with Welld Health and use the Healthy Stats outcomes software for all of our population health data capture. We will recommend this to your club.

How We Look at Data Analytics

Over the past decade, healthcare has embraced big data. Why? Because they have a lot of information to sort out – from patient medical records, to amounts of prescriptions, to hospital costs, to insurance issues.

Fitness is different. We already know how important exercise is for improving the health of people who engage in regular training for their medical conditions. The key is to capture this information and put it together for both individual members, but also in a population health format – so we can understand how thousands of patients are doing in their cancer wellness programs, or diabetes programs, or weight loss programs.

As medically based fitness organizations continue to grow – we need to have a mechanism to ensure that everyone who attends medically-based fitness programs has their data be part of a national database.
