Workplace Wellness : Smaller Businesss Adopting Illness Management.

A recent survey finds nearly 42% of businesss with 200 or fewer workers have some sort of disease management program.

That’s a enormous increase from four years ago, when just 28% of smaller corporations offered such wellness programs.

There’s more to come, too. Fifteen% of respondents that didn’t currently have a disease management component to their health plan hope to add one by 2011.

The highest-demand disease management (DM) programs are for diabetes, asthma and heart disease.
