Anglo Arabian Healthcare introduce Zenith Health and Wellness to the UAE. Zenith Health and Wellness has been initiated to provide efficient, ethical and cost effective health and wellness solutions for the UAE’s employers and their valuable workforces. In collaboration with Al Futtaim Willis, Anglo Arabian Healthcare developed the Zenith Health and Wellness managed care programme that has been built on a solid operating model which provides quality assured care to patients, while adopting checks and balances to control the baseline spend in order to cope with 10–5% annual rate of global medical inflation. Through analysing organisation’s historic insurance claims spend, the Zenith Health and Wellness scheme acts as a ‘gatekeeper’ to reduce unnecessary medical consultations and obtain the most economical rate for diagnostics in the market. Using generic versus branded pharmaceuticals can also save up to 50% or more again, reducing expenditure. The architect of Zenith Health and Wellness, Mark Adams, CEO of Anglo Arabian Healthcare enthuses “At a time when everyone is looking at containing their costs, giving ultimate control to the employer to put the breaks on the expenditure is a welcomed approach and I believe that managed care throughout the region, is a potential game changer. This is this kind of fresh thinking that the whole market will follow if you are seen to be truly driving a fair level of healthcare,” notes Adams. As well as saving costs, the Zenith Health and Wellness program provides a multitude of flexible medical and wellbeing services that have been carefully designed to ensure that employees are protected, professionally cared for and remain a healthy workforce. The Zenith Solution: Taking Control and Reaping Benefits
Zenith Health and Wellness provides a multitude of material benefits for both employer and employees. Investing in the health and wellbeing of a workforce not only increases employee morale, it encourages greater productivity, company loyalty and less absenteeism through sickness which in turn, lowers company health insurance claims that elevate company profitability and increase brand equity. Zenith sets a target for a minimum 20% reduction to the organisations previous annual spend.
• Lower costs - The savings on health care costs alone make for an impressive ROI.
• Greater workforce productivity - Participants in wellness programs are absent less often and perform better at work than their non-participant counterparts.
• Higher morale - Employee pride, trust, and commitment increase, contributing to a vigorous and positive organisation. At at a time when everyone is looking at containing their costs, the Zenith programme offers many exciting benefits. “If adopting these strategies means an potential 25% overall reduction in claims costs for corporations, then re-investing 5% into educating their employees on preventative healthcare means that they are still actually saving while educating patients to live longer lives,” adds Adams.
