Health coaching has emerged as an essential plank in a population health management platform, helping to identify and mitigate risk in populations across the health continuum and cultivating a culture of wellness. Health coaches employ a range of tools and technologies as they guide individuals toward health behavior change.

In recent years, eligibility for health coaching has expanded beyond the employee to spouses and dependents.

The Guide to Health Coaching lays the groundwork for a health coaching initiative, delivering the following:

• A comprehensive set of 2013 health coaching benchmarks from 150 companies;
• An examination of integrated coaching's toolbox of interventions that span the health risk continuum — keeping the healthy, healthy without compromising the clinical support needed for high-risk, high utilization individuals;
• Fundamentals of three essential coaching tools — motivational interviewing, the Patient Activation Measure® and Positive Psychology — that support coaches as they meet clients where they are and foster self-management.
