Mayo Clinic Health Risk Assessment:
Overview

Health Risk Identification

That Leads to Health Risk Reduction


Motivating and sustaining health behavior change is the key to improving population health and productivity and controlling health care costs. Health behavior research has shown that helping people identify threats to their health facilitates the process of healthy change. This is the goal behind the Mayo Clinic Health Risk Assessment. Our approach goes beyond simple assessment and targets key risks for change.

The Mayo Clinic Health Risk Assessment (HRA), available exclusively through Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth, is a state-of-the-art risk appraisal software that places a unique emphasis on health education and behavior change. Drawing upon Mayo Clinic experts in the fields of medicine, epidemiology, health education, behavior change, and Web development and design, our HRA provides organizations an effective tool for:

  • Identifying risks within a population
  • Delivering follow-up interventions for those at risk
  • Tracking and analyzing population health trends over time

A comprehensive menu of reports provides all of the information and tools you need to identify key population risks and follow through with appropriate health interventions and programs. The online format provides both timely data and the unique ability to create customized reports for your entire population or by work site.
