During the early months of the pandemic, millions of Americans deferred crucial health and well-being services—including care for chronic conditions and various preventive screenings—and the demand for behavioral health services increased drastically.
Castlight Health’s 2022 Workforce Health Index dives into commercial medical spend from 2018 through 2021, including projections for the upcoming year for telemedicine, preventive care, behavioral health (including for teens and children), elective care, and more. Additionally, it examines how healthcare spend varies by income and race/ethnicity, and explores how employer investments in health and well-being programs have grown alongside workforce needs.
Castlight analyzed 160 million medical claims, employer investments in digital programs, data from digital health partners, and responses to the Castlight health risk assessment, which takes a snapshot of members’ health goals, self-reported health status related to those goals, and readiness to work toward their goals. These data-driven insights can help inform employers’ benefit strategies and, ultimately, build a productive, engaged, and healthy workforce.
