The document provides guidance on developing an effective Health Risk Assessment (HRA) for a health plan, noting that one should form a committee to determine the appropriate questions, target the right audience, include required elements, consider various completion methods, and ensure follow up with customized results and health resources for members. The HRA should gather personal health and social information to identify risks and needs while meeting regulatory and accreditation standards through an accessible process. Developing an HRA requires thorough planning but can help health plans and case managers improve members' health.
