The advantages of howsyourhealth to patients and employees are:
confidentiality
ease of use without advertisements;
instant feedback of helpful, personalized information in the form of the recommended educational materials; and
the promise of improved health care when their clinician uses the action form to guide care.
Howsyourhealth offers you:
a clinician-designed approach proven to be of value in controlled clinical trials;
quarterly reports that allow you to understand your respondents' needs and compare them to other practices (or employer) groups; and
many customization options.
Click here to ses an example of a quarterly summary report for 70+ year old patients and an adult comparison.
Note the SF-36 is a commonly used measure of respondent function that can be easily estimated from howsyourhealth.
You will receive this type of report for adolescents (9-18), adults (19-69) and older adults (70+) in summary form and by respondent gender. You will also be sent this information in tabular and graphical form so that you can compare your respondents to other practices (or employer) groups. If you choose to set up subgroups such as doctors or insurance plans (see below), you will be able to compare them.
Finally, you may choose to receive open-ended responses.
The customization options are:
10 subgroups for sorting your summary information(e.g. doctors or insurance plans).*
Modify or add 5 questions for each age group.
Add an open ended question for each age group.
Add/modify instructions on the recommendation letter.
Add messages on the action forms for each age group (in "risk" box on the lower right).
Offer an invitation to patient to register for special health management programs (e.g. nurse telephone follow-up for asthma management). This option requires the patient to sacrifice anonymity so that the clinician knows who to contact.
Offer an invitation to patients to electronically transmit their action forms to their clinician ( which also requires the patient to sacrifice anonymity).
Offer respondents instructions on where to pick up printed copies of the educational information on loan**
* Additional fees are required for each subgroup. (See below).
** For patient with many concerns or problems, reading or printing from the web may be very time consuming. for this reason many clinicians, schools, and employers choose to have some paper booklets on hand.
Fees:
$90/year for a clinician and/or 2000 respondents. A multi-clinician group, school or employer may choose increments of 2000 hits as the most economical approach. When the sponsoring organization wishes to examine respondent data by subgroup, each additional subgroup costs $80 and is also entitled to 2000 additional users per subgroup.

ABOUT HOW'S YOUR HEALTH
For more than two decades, a cooperative network of physicians, nurses,
patients, and researchers affiliated with Dartmouth Medical School have
developed approaches to make medical care truly responsive to the needs
of the population. How's Your Health is derived from this experience and
is proven to work.
Coming Soon:
Additional questions specific for common chronic diseases.: high blood pressure, heart trouble, diabetes, arthritis, breathing problems or obesity. Triggering these question takes some patients more time and are not recommended until you have had sufficient experience with howsyourhealth options listed above.
Other languages. The underlying approach for howsyourhealth was officially adopted by the World Organization of Primary Care in 1992 for use in about 20 languages. Software and paper versions are available in Spanish. See a more complete description of this version fnxnet.com.
