In the wake of continuously escalating healthcare costs, health management in the workplace has gained new momentum as employers strategize to optimize the health of their workforce while containing healthcare costs. Gaining acceptance as a viable tool to aid employers is a process called Predictive Modeling. On the surface, Predictive Modeling may contribute significantly to delivering the right interventions to the right person at the right time by identifying high risk individuals, and underusers and overusers of health services. This chapter discusses the ethical principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice and autonomy, as well as value judgments and human rights as applied to Predictive Modeling to guide professionals and employers in health management decisions.

Asthma rates in the US have risen during the past 25 years, as have asthma-related morbidity and healthcare costs. Professional organizations involved in asthma care have identified the need to assure that an advanced level of asthma knowledge and skill is available to patients with asthma, their families, and insurers. This need led to development of the certification for asthma educators. The Certified Asthma Educator (AE-C) must meet specific clinical criteria and pass a standardized examination designed to evaluate knowledge and skill for providing competent asthma education and coordination. The development and current status of the Certified Asthma Educator examination process and content are discussed, as are goals of the certification
