Health Management
In 2008, Inverness acquired separate businesses Alere Medical,
ParadigmHealth and Matria Healthcare. The three have united
under one name, Alere to offer unparalleled health management
services.
We believe many individuals experience a moment of awareness
that inspires them to make health a priority. Our goal is to be
there at that moment. We strive to empower participants in our
programs and physicians so that they can work together towards
achieving better health.
Our expert-designed programs:
- Embrace the entire lifespan, from pre-cradle to end-of-life,
and all health states, from wellness to prevention to complex
care
- Provide health coaches who engage and motivate participants
during teachable moments
- Help participants improve their health by supporting their
individual health goals
- Bring greater clarity to healthcare with empowering
technologies that lead to better outcomes
- Offer 2,200+ healthcare professionals who share a passion for
excellence in everything we do
We believe that if each us takes charge of our own health at home,
we can build a stronger culture of healthcare, one person, and one
touch at a time.
The key programs:
Wellness
Wellness Solutions is a suite of integrated wellness programs
and resources designed to help an organization reduce health
risks and improve the health and productivity of its employees
while reducing its healthcare-related costs. Wellness programs
include the Health and Productivity Assessment (HPA), Healthy
Living Programs (HLPs), the Health Portal and Personal Health
Record, Health Coaching and MaternaLink Risk Screenings.
Care
The Alere Disease Management Program provides
technology-enabled, evidence-based solutions for managing chronic
and high-cost conditions, improving productivity and reducing
healthcare costs. Alere offers two models of care: the more
inclusive Total Population Health Management (TPHM) program for
low, medium- or high-risk participants, and a High-Risk program
that focuses only on the highest-risk members of an
employee population.
The key difference between the two models is the use of the
Alere DayLink® Monitor in the High-Risk
program. It is a biometric measurement device that records a
participant’s weight and answers to pre-programmed questions
regarding their symptoms. This information is gathered daily and
sent to our clinicians for review.
Whether a company needs a more inclusive TPHM
program for its entire population or a more focused care model
for the most at risk members of its population, our
consultants work with the company to determine which
model best meets the needs of its overall business
strategy.
Oncology
The Alere Oncology Program is the most comprehensive,
experienced and long-running cancer management programs in the
nation, managing 122 cancer types, covering more than 8 million
lives and effectively managing more than 50,000 participants.
Cancer continues to challenge employers and health plans as they
search for tools to compassionately manage this condition among
their population in the most cost-effective manner. By
incorporating “best of breed” practices and coordinating with
physicians and participants, Alere provides an integrated solution
to proactively manage this expensive and debilitating disease.
Women's & Children's Health

women who have medical or pregnancy-related problems that could
harm their pregnancies.
