FBE Manchester - Wellness in the Workplace - 19th July 2016FBE Manchester
Experts from Space Invader, Nuffield Health and Rider Levett Bucknall gave us their views on the rise of wellbeing in designing workplaces.
For many, wellness in the workplace has moved from a nice to have to a must have. Healthy employees tend to be happier and more engaged and, in turn, more productive.
Wellness initiatives in the workplace are gaining pace: 31% of employers plan to implement a wellness strategy in 2016. And 35% plan to do so in the next three years.
This event covered the past, present and future of Wellness in the Workplace. It also looked at how wellness is being revolutionised by advances in technology and the benefits this brings to employers and employees.

Through case problems, attendees will review compliance mistakes concerning HIPAA, ACA, GINA, ADA, FLSA, data privacy and tax laws. Participants will learn how to use those laws to build a better workplace wellness program.
Learning Objectives:

* Identify red flags in certain common workplace wellness practices.

Using Data in Public and Community Health
What is Public Health?
What is Public Health?
The fulfillment of society’s interest in assuring the conditions in which people can be healthy.
Organized community efforts aimed at the prevention of disease and the promotion of health.

Public Health vs. Medical Care
In medicine, the patient is the individual; in public health, the patient is the community
Public health diagnoses the health of the community using public health sciences
Treatment of the community involves new policies and interventions
Goal of medicine is cure; goal of public health is prevention of disease and disability
Public Health: Science and Politics
Science is how we understand threats to health, determine what interventions might work, and evaluate whether the interventions worked
Politics is how we as a society make decisions about what policies to implement
Public Health Disciplines
Epidemiology
Statistics
Biomedical Sciences
Environmental Health Science
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Health Policy and Management
Epidemiology
The basic science of public health
The study of epidemics
Aims to control spread of infectious diseases
Seeks causes of chronic disease and ways to limit harmful exposures.
Statistics
Collection of data on the population
These numbers are diagnostic tools for the health of the community
The science of statistics is used to calculate risks and benefits
Biomedical Sciences
Infectious diseases – pathogens
Chronic diseases
Genetics
Environmental Health Science
Health effects of environmental exposures
Air quality
Water quality
Solid and hazardous wastes
Safe food and drugs
Global environmental change
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Behavior is now the leading factor in affecting people’s health
Theories of health behavior: social environment affects people’s behavior
Major health threats: tobacco, poor diet and physical inactivity, injuries
Maternal and child health – a social issue
Health Policy and Management
Role of medical care in public health
Cost of medical care in U.S. is out of control
U.S. has a high percentage of population without health insurance – these people often lack access to medical care
Quality of medical care can be measured, and is often questionable
Public Health: Prevention and Intervention
Primary prevention
Secondary prevention
Tertiary prevention
Public Health Approach
Define the health problem
Identify risk factors associated with the problem
Develop and test community-level interventions to control or prevent the cause of the problem
Implement interventions to improve the health of the population.
Monitor interventions to assess their effectiveness.
Key Findings
Most people are concerned about their health—very concerned (31%) or somewhat concerned (31%)
Key Findings
Americans do not see a single most important cause of individuals’ health problems.

Obesity
Obesity is a chronic medical condition and a significant health concern in the United States that is increasing worldwide. More than one third of the adults in the U.S. are obese. It is a leading cause of preventable illness and death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2016). This global epidemic is a leading concern for adults and for children who are predisposed to becoming obese as adults. This paper will discuss the significance of obesity in Florida, provide a background of the disease, review current surveillance and reporting methods, conduct a descriptive epidemiological analysis, discuss diagnosis and screening for prevention tools, develop an evidence based plan along with measureable outcomes to address obesity as an advanced practice nurse, and conclude with an overview of the main points presented.
Background and Significance
According to the CDC (2016), obesity is defined as “weight that is higher than what is considered as a healthy weight for a given height.” It involves excessive weight gain and accumulation of fat. In order to determine obesity, Body Mass Index or BMI is used to indirectly calculate a person’s body fat and health risk based on weight in relation to height. A BMI of 25.0 or above is considered overweight and 30.0 or greater is considered obese. Athletes with a greater amount of muscle mass may have a higher BMI even though they do not have excess body fat. Waist circumference is also used as a tool to diagnose obesity.
There are many causes that contribute to obesity, including behavioral, genetic, hormonal, environmental, and social factors. Increase in caloric intake, unhealthy eating habits, decrease in physical activity, certain medications, age, lack of sleep, quitting smoking, pregnancy, and certain medical disorders can contribute to weight gain (Mayo Clinic, 2018). Driving cars has replaced walking and riding bikes, technology has replaced engaging in physical activity, and easy access to cheaper foods has replaced nutritional importance. Most people are aware when weight is gained. Obvious signs and symptoms are tighter clothes, excess fat, and increased weight on a scale. Being overweight or obese increases the risk for many health diseases. Obesity may cause low endurance, breathing issues, excessive sweating, and joint discomfort. It can also lead to diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux disease, coronary heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke, depression, and even certain types of cancer such as bowel, breast, and prostate cancer (Mayo Clinic, 2018).
Below is a map that highlights the obesity prevalence across the U.S. in 2016 according to the CDC. There is no significant difference in overall prevalence between men and women. The prevalence of women with a BMI > 35 is 18.3% compared to 12.5% of men. The.
