What is a Health Risk Assessment?
The HRA questionnaire used by Creative Wellness Solutions (CWS) is the Personal Wellness Profile (PWP) developed by health promotion specialists including doctors, health educators, nutritionists, and exercise physiologists. The HRA questionnaire will help you identify your risk, and make changes in your lifestyle to decrease your risk and improve your health.
A health risk assessment is a tool that creates a digital record of your age, weight, family history and basic test results. Based on this information the tool offers suggestions about how you might improve your health. An HRA can inspire individual behavioral change and raise questions about your health that encourage discussion with your doctor. HRAs are sometimes used as an opportunity for marketing products, like a weight loss system or smoking cessation aid. They also may enable employers to generate health-related statistics about employees. What are the benefits of a digital record? Computer-based records can allow physicians to more easily access and share patient information. For example, if a condition requires consultation with more than one doctor a digital record can make it easier for the different physicians to coordinate care. (In that case both doctors must be using a compatible system.) In some cases, patients are also empowered by being given access to their records.
