Why is the Health Scorecard valuable for your organization?
MiHIA’s Health Scorecard allows your organization to consider evidence-based health improvement strategies to identify and consider evidence based strategies that could be implemented within your organization, helping all stakeholders shift to a focus on well-being. Organizations that choose to submit the Health ScoreCard will become part of a network of organizations committed to improving health for the region. This network can provide your organization with access to the latest in best practices for employee wellness and opportunities to collaborate and innovate with regional partners. Your organization may choose to get involved at any level to gain access to the network of collaborative technical assistance, data, and information on health improvement. The Health ScoreCard is just one way we build an understanding of your organization and how you are impacting health in the region.
