The article analyzes modern methods of personnel health management and provides examples of the implementation of the most interesting methods in foreign and Russian companies. The rationale is presented that the launching of healthcare management system can contribute to the improvement of competitiveness and growth of employee productivity, strengthening of corporate spirit, as well as creates a positive image and reputation of the company. The authors analyze the dynamics of the VHI market as one of the most demanded practices on care for the health of employees in Russia. The calculations are made on the dynamics of concluding VHI contracts with individuals and legal entities. The authors determine the dynamics of the average premium on VHI with legal entities for the last three years and the rates of increase of the volume of contracts from 2015 to 2019. Also the rolling factor of insurance payments is calculated. The forecast of the volume of VHI contracts with individuals for 2020–2022 is made. Also examples of the application of international medical voluntary insurance policies (MMS) in the performance of offi duties in dangerous working conditions, which can lead to the emergence of professional or serious diseases, are provided. The data on medical start-ups, which are able to positively aff the care of companies about the health of employees, are summarized. The authors provide data on practices on employee health care in domestic companies Lukoil, Rostelecom, Sberbank, Seventh Continent, etc., as well as data on cost savings of companies in the implementation of the system of employee health management. Some recommendations on the application of methods of managing the health of employees in domestic companies are presented.

Fatigue Severity

Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is one of the most serious sequelae, which often interferes with the rehabilitation process and impairs the functional recovery of patients. Due to insufficient evidence, it is unclear which specific pharmacological interventions should be recommended. Therefore, in this paper, we compare the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions in PSF. A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were performed using EMBASE, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane library, ClinicalTrials.gov, CNKI, and CQVIP, from inception to January 2018, in the English and Chinese languages. RCTs involving different non-pharmacological interventions for PSF with an outcome of fatigue measured using the Fatigue Severity Scale were included. Multiple intervention comparisons based on a Bayesian network are used to compare the relative effects of all included interventions. Ten RCTs with eight PSF non-pharmacological interventions were identified, comprising 777 participants. For effectiveness, most interventions did not significantly differ from one another. The cumulative probabilities of the best non-pharmacological intervention for fatigue reduction included Community Health Management (CHM), followed by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Network meta-analysis based on data from the selected RCTs indicated that the eight PSF non-pharmacological interventions shared equivalent efficacy, but CHM, TCM, and CBT showed potentially better efficacy. In the future, fatigue needs to be recognized and more accurate assessment methods for PSF are required for diagnosis and to develop more effective clinical interventions.

The Future

As you know, the main goal of any organization is to make a profit, build financial capacity and maximize income. In this process, the work of the company’s management is important in finding any ways to reduce the company’s costs. But, nevertheless, the functioning of the organization is impossible without the use of human resources, their development in the future. Statistics show that often an ill employee costs the organization much more than the savings on working conditions that many organizations are trying to realize in order to reduce staff costs. The article emphasizes the need to implement a corporate employee health management system, discloses how it can be cost-effective for organizations and useful for employees. In Russian companies, caring for employees, developing corporate policy as a strategy for the future has not yet become widespread. Many are looking for benefits in reducing the number of employees, in reducing wages, in making temporary employees, in the effectiveness of managerial decisions. Objectively, companies want instant results without long-term and mixed investments. According to Rosstat, in Russia, about 30% of the employees of all the companies surveyed work in conditions that simply do not meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. Meanwhile, in foreign countries, health management programs are reaching a new, progressive level, which includes not only improving working conditions, but also holding Health Days, changing the lifestyle of employees (promoting a healthy lifestyle, adjusting nutrition programs, increasing physical activity, etc.), as well as regular monitoring and health monitoring of employees. The main research methods were: review method, which allows to obtain accessible and complete information on the topic of the article; cross-cultural analysis used to compare the attitude of employers to the health of employees in Russia and abroad and to identify the degree of similarity and difference in the modality of health values in different countries, as well as a method of secondary analysis of the results of sociological studies on the topic of research.

Abstract The impacts of bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDv) and persistently infected (PI) are felt across the cattle industry. This project utilized data and parameters from a meta-analysis of reported results along with partial budgeting procedures to determine economic costs and benefits of herd and calf health management. A base herd of 100 head, consisting of 50 breeding females, 43 calves, and 7 replacement heifers and bulls was implemented. Ninety- six percent of cow-calf operations are uninfected from BVDv. Introduction of an enhanced health program as an uninfected herd resulted in a net loss of $7.64 per bred cow in the first year of the program and a net loss of $6.46 in year two. First-year costs were higher due to initial testing, while second-year costs did not include testing under the assumption that carriers were culled. Infected herds incurred net losses of health program implementation of $96.21 per bred cow for the first year but a gain of the program of $27.96 in year two. First-year losses were larger due to increased testing and eradication costs. Gains in the second year stemmed from increased productivity across the herd. Furthermore, gains were discovered beyond cow-calf operations. Evaluation of down-stream demand for calves (i.e., stocker operations) resulted in gains of $4.39 per stocker for a producer that retains ownership of their calves and $48.89 for producers purchasing calves from cow-calf operators (commercial). Commercial stocker operators benefited from fewer health issues without added cow-calf level costs. These results indicate cow-calf producers would carry the burden of the costs of managing, and attempting to eradicate, BVDv/PI across the industry. These results provide industry stakeholder groups and policymakers benchmarks for incentives to induce health programs, targeted largely at the cow-calf level

Corporate Level

The article considers the accumulated experience and trends in the development of health management at the corporate level. The data of international and national studies are presented, indicating the benefits of using health programs for employee, employers and society as a whole, as well as highlighting the key problems arising in the management of employee health: when implementing corporate programs, it is not always clear and specific goals are established and data collection is organized , allowing to estimate their real results and efficiency; despite significant investments and efforts to stimulate participation in health and well-being programs, often employee participation continues to be at a rather low level (not least because of employee concerns about the use and confidentiality and protection of data obtained during implementation, discrimination); the studies point to marked differences in the assessment of the results of health and well-being programs by employers and employees; most of the programs for recovery and well-being are mostly reactive in nature, they are not aimed at solving existing problems, but not at preventing them, etc. The conditions necessary for the further development and effectiveness of corporate health and well-being management programs are justified.
