Wellness Companies

A healthy workforce leads to reduced stress levels, increased job satisfaction, and improved productivity. X-Plain for Wellness supports corporate wellness initiatives that aim at reducing healthcare costs and illness-induced absenteeism.

The Patient Education Institute has developed a population health solution to engage health information consumers and thus improve health management, decision making, and outcomes. We offer this solution, X-Plain XML Database, to partners providing wellness products.

Our partners can integrate the X-Plain XML Database into their IT systems. The IT system uses X-Plain web services to automatically assign topics based on employee health risk assessments or other criteria that the partner determines. The IT system can also track user completion and comprehension, which can be incorporated into an incentives program.

If you need a solution that does not require integration by your IT staff, X-Plain Health Encyclopedia may be right for you. Contact us for more information.
