That speed is useful, but it does not eliminate laboratory quality requirements. “CLIA-waived” refers to a regulatory category for certain tests that are simple to perform…
Wellness incentives can increase awareness and make preventive actions easier to prioritize, but the design determines whether the program feels supportive or punitive. The central choice is whether to reward an action, such as completing a biometric screening or health education module, or a health outcome, such as reaching a specified biometric range.

For benefits teams, the value is program design: screening data can help build a health risk…
